On Sunday, August 17 at Riverside Park in Kemptville from 7:00 am to 3:00pm, everyone is invited to come to Rural FASD’s Red Shoes Triathlon. With the support of Triathlon Ontario, the Municipality of North Grenville, the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce, the Kemptville Downtown BIA and Community Futures Grenville, Rural FASD is proud to bring this sanctioned triathlon to beautiful Kemptville and its Campus focusing on the theme “Nothing For Us Without Us!”

The day will consist of five triathlon for triathletes as young as 12 and no maximum age limit, being timed by ChipResults, starting with the Olympic qualifying Draft Legal triathlons and finishing with the recreational triathlons that anyone or any team can do starting at the Riverside Park pool, then cycling through beautiful Kemptville Campus and finishing with a run around Riverside Park. Cost of the triathlons vary from $40-100. Information booths manned by adult advocates living with FASD, the Chamber of Commerce, the LLG Health Unit and Kids Inclusive, free canteen, and loot bags. Spectators are encouraged and admission is free but donations to Rural FASD to help support this event are appreciated through our June 8 raffle to win 2 free tickets from WestJet or 2 RedBlack tickets from Wills Transfer.
