Root Beer Kids Triathlon p/b Lakewalk Surgery Center

Hats off to our volunteers!

The Brewhouse, Buzz Ryan, and Root Beer Kids Tris would not be the same without all of your support and enthusiasm!

With over 50 volunteers, 400 racers, and countless spectators, there is a lot happening on race day. And through it all you are out there smiling, cheering, directing, and creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for everyone...and it means the world to the racers.

It also means the world to us that we can offer a world class race with world class volunteers, none of which would be possible without you!

Save the Date ~ Sunday, August 1, 2027
