Gillie Girls Sprint Triathlon or Aqua Bike Race

Join Tracy Chamberlain Higginbotham in July and try the Gillie Girls Triathlon or the Gillie Girls Aqua Bike (swim and bike, no run).

The Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon is located 1 mile off of Route 5 near West Hill Golf Course on Ike Dixon Road between Sands Road and Gillie Brook Road. The course includes a 1/2 miles swim in the natural spring-fed Gillie Lake, a relatively flat 14-mile bike route, and a spectator-friendly 5k run. This is a great event for all women, first-time racers, seasoned triathletes, and relay teams.

100% of the net proceeds go to the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. To date, donations of $150,000 have been made from the Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon to The Baldwin Fund. Your support of this race helps fund research and lectureships, which will aid in developing new treatments, identifying new protocols, and eventually finding a cure. Thank you for supporting the Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon! 100% of our donation stays in our local community, meaning our community is conducting the research for breast cancer cures.  Because of this, your support helps this race make a difference in our community and around the globe.

Individual fees:  $65 thru September 14, $75 thru January 31, $85 thru May 31 and $95 thru July 25

Relay Team fees:  $130 thru September 14, $140 thru January 31, $155 thru May 27, $175 thru July 24

"Try A Tri" - A Creative Way to Try a Triathlon

My sister and I training for a Triathlon that got cancelled due to a Hurricane in Maryland.

Tracy Chamberlain Higginbotham, Founder of Women TIES and the Women's Athletic Network, with her lifetime goal to try every sport once, is inviting women to join her on her latest athletic and networking event for women who have always wanted to "try" a Triathlon. Join her with the RIT Running and Multisport Club for a thrilling Try-a-Tri event on March 26, 2023 at the RIT Gordon Field House.

This will be just the tip of the Triathlon iceberg since participants get to test their endurance and push themselves to new limits as they swim, bike, and run for 15 minutes each with a 5-minute transition period in between each activity. This is perfect for all skill levels and a way to test yourself. Compete against other participants and see how far you go as the event is scored based on distances covered. Proceeds benefit the RIT Running and Multisport Club and the nonprofit organization ROCovery.

Registration is digital. Online registration closes at the start of the race. Must register by March 5, 2023 to guarantee a t-shirt with participation. To secure your place, please register by March 5th on the website at https://campusgroups.rit.edu/feeds?type=event&type_id=2035826&tab=details
then, register on our website so we know you are joining Tracy on this lifetime sport so she can meet you and create the networking opportunities for any women who attend. There is a $10 cost for the Women TIES group networking portion of the event, plus promotion on you and your business for joining her prior and after the event so make sure to register and pay the Women TIES fee at www.womenties.com

Come on, let's do this together while supporting a worthy Rochester based organization. As my favorite pin states, "Make Your Life a Great Story" and as my friend Kathrine Switzer says, "Life is for participating in, not spectating."
