Saturday looks to be a beautiful day to get out and active, and the Perry Parks and Recreation Department is offering area residents a chance to do just that with their annual Sprint Triathlon.

Becky Towers and John Anderson with the department help explain just what a sprint triathlon is.

“You start with swimming and then you go into biking and then you go into running, it’s just a continuous event.  The swimming is six laps, the biking will be from the (McCreary Community Building) to Dawson and back, and it’s a 5k run.”

The event will kick off with registration at 7am Saturday with the race both starting and ending at the recreation center.

Those who are not interested in doing the whole thing alone can form a team of three where a different person does each one of the events.

The cost to participate is $30 for an individual or $20 per person for a team of three.
