Giving Back

Thanks to the generisoty of our sponsors (The Greene Turtle, Illiano & Sweet, J&P Pizza, All American Bicycle Center, The Snack Shack, and brian lausch photography) the Inaugural Nottingham Knights & Maidens Triathlon was able to break even with the race related expenses. The special edition ipod shuffle raffle item donated by brian lausch photography raised $90, all of which is being donated to The Erik Lerch Foundation.

We are looking forward to next year and growing the event. Our goal is to double the size of the triathlon and introduce more kids to the sport of triathlons and help support the community at the same time.

Your involvement with your kid’s at the Inaugural Nottingham Knights & Maidens Triathlon shows your supportiveness of your child’s need for a healthy active lifestyle and triathlon as a new challenging goal for their physical fitness. The triathlon intended to expose our youngest triathletes to basic elements of triathlon and give them a taste of the unique sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a triathlon.

We hope to see you all again next year!

Thanks to All

Thank you all for coming out and racing in the Inaugural Nottingham Knights & Maidens Triathlon.

I am so proud of all of the kids. The race course was not easy, as defiantly was NOT flat. But they pushed through and crossed the finish line running.

Thanks to all of the parents, volunteers and sponsors to all of their support. It could not be done without you.

Hope to see you all again next summer!
