| Spring Fun in Moraga
| | By Sophie Braccini |  | |
The 3rd annual Treeline Triathlon will be held on April 25.
Last year saw a very successful event and this year again sportsmen and women of all ages will compete in a combination of a 400 meter swim, 22k bike ride and 5k run. The swim will start at 7 a.m. at the Soda Aquatic Center. The bike route will then take the athletes down Moraga Road to Canyon Road, right on Pinehurst to the Canyon School
turnaround and then back into Town. The last part is the run that takes participants racing thru the Campolindo neighborhood ending in Campo stadium. Athletes are warned to save some energy, because the last leg is a victory lap around the track, ending in front of the Grandstand. Last year 115 women participated, as well as 116 men and 15 relay teams (we here at your friendly neighborhood newspaper have opted to observe this year rather than participate.) As of April 9 there were 205 registered participants, comparable to this time last year according to Parks and Rec Director Jay Ingram. 100 volunteers have signed up to help run a very smooth event; a few spots are still available; call Ingram at 888-7034 if you are interested in helping out. The Town of Moraga, Village Associates Real Estate and the other sponsors will host a post-race awards ceremony and celebration with food and music. Awards will be presented to the top finishers in each category. Registration ends on April 20, online registration is available at www.moragatri.com.
