I am an avid TriAthlete, is the TriAdventure for me?
The TriAdventure is not a typical triathlon. Our activities are not timed, and there are no prizes for finishing first. Our participants challenge themselves with the physical activities involved in the event, but are also challenged to raise over $1,000 for HIV/AIDS relief in Africa. The reward is knowing our efforts support important programs that directly improve the lives of hundreds of people in Africa.

Our sponsors graciously provide additional resources to support the TriAdventure.
