Whether you're an experienced triathlete looking for a casual, local event, or a newbie wondering if you've got what it takes, join the 2011 Island Fitness Train to Tri participants in the annual Bainbridge Island triathlon!

This year's event will be bigger and better than last year's, with up to 300 spots available for individuals and/or teams for the sprint-distance race.

Course includes a 0.5-mile swim in Blakely Harbor*; a 12.5-mile bike loop around Eagledale, Crystal Springs, and Lynwood Center; and a 3.5-mile run out and back along Country Club Rd. *Note: Due to water temperature, wetsuits are strongly recommended!

Proceeds from this year's BI Tri will go to Arms Around Bainbridge, a local nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to members of the Bainbridge Island community facing overwhelming burdens associated with a serious illness.
