On Sunday, May 21st swimmers, bikers, and runners will take their mark in the first annual Castle Rock annual youth sanctioned USA Triathlon.
The registration fee is $30 per person and includes a T-shirt, goodie bag and food on the day of the race. From the total entrance fee, $10 will go the school physical education program of the participant. The remaining $20 will benefit youth athletics in Castle Rock.

The school with the most participants at the triathlon will receive a party for the participating athletes hosted by the Castle Rock Recreation Department at the new leisure pool.
