I’m sure everyone has heard that Paratriathlon will be included in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, but have you heard about the Dare 2 Tri Paratriathlon Club?
The Dare 2 Tri Paratriathlon Club is a local club open to youth and adults with a physical disability or visual impairment who are interested in any part of the triathlon: swim, bike or run. The club will offer training opportunities and race support for interested athletes. The inaugural Dare 2 Tri Club meeting will be held on January 24th, 2011 at the Wrightwood Tap in Chicago, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.
If you’re interested in getting involved or learning more about the Dare 2 Tri Club, a group of Chicago Tri Club members are planning on attending the inaugural meeting together. If you’d like to join us, please RSVP with Keri Schindler (info below) and also please RSVP with me so we can get a sense of how many members are interested in helping out. From one tri club to another, we would very much like to promote the efforts of the Dare 2 Tri Club and assist them as best we can.
The Dare 2 Tri Club info is below; please feel free to send this along to friends. Thanks!
