Race4Chase Youth Triathlon

Training: June 23 - August 1

Triathlon: August 2

We are proud to be the first Boys & Girls Club to join the Race4Chase triathlon program inspired by the life of Chase Kowalski and the CMAK Sandy Hook Memorial Foundation.

 

Together with our partners, Bridgeport Caribe Youth Leaders and the Bridgeport YMCA, we will join their mission to provide boys and girls ages 6 - 12 with a safe, healthy, non-competitive environment to discover the sport of triathlon! Training will be held June 23 - August 1, based out of our Madison Avenue Community Clubhouse, and the Triathlon is on August 2, 2025. No cost to participate and no experienced needed.
