We invite you to be part of a wonderful event just for women.

More than just a race, the Trifitness Women Triathlon & Duathlon will provide a supportive environment for women of all ages and athletic abilities.

This Sprint Distance Triathlon & Duathlon is set at Shady Beach in Norwalk, CT. Perfect for beginners and seasoned women athletes. We are excited to add a Duathlon option this year to the race (1.5 mile Run, 11 mile bike, 3.1 mile run.) Great awards, awesome food and a race t-shirt designed by women for women.
Relay teams are available and encouraged!

Parts of the proceeds will go to TeamBrent (www.teambrent.com) to benefit directly the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (via the Neuroblastoma Research Fund). TeamBrent was created in 2005 to battle childhood cancer alongside 3 year old Brent who was fighting stage iv Neuroblastoma. Today he is a survivor who has no recollection of his treatment, and his worries are about scoring goals in soccer, not about keeping his platelets up so he can get chemo - but the fight goes on. Brent is living proof that your efforts make a difference. It is our hope that someday no child dies of cancer.

Brent is going to venture into triathlon training doing our camp this Summer. He is a novice but full of determination. As mothers and daughters we should copy his example and try something new this Summer maybe a triathlon, maybe the Trifitness Women’s Triathlon! Please help us raise awareness against children’s cancer and consider racing, for the first time or hundredth time, and maybe raising funds for TeamBrent.

Fortuna's Italian Deli & Catering, located in Brigeport, CT, will be serving food post race - Fresh fruit kabobs -- yogurts -- granola -- juice -- coffee (hot or iced).
