18th Annual Katy Triathlon Set for Sunday, Oct 24th
The 18th Annual Katy Triathlon at Firethorne, the third largest co-ed triathlon in Texas, will be held Sunday, October 24, 7:30 a.m. – 11 a.m., in and around the 1,400-acre Firethorne residential community. The USA Triathlon-sanctioned race, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Katy, encompasses a 16-mile bike race, a three-mile run and a 500-meter swim in Lake Firethorne.
“Firethorne is a great partner on this event and we’re thrilled to be back,” said Rotary Club of Katy Treasurer Vicki Rao. “We really enjoy the residents — they’re phenomenal people. Their response was so incredible last year, especially those who live near Race Central (the Visitor Center).”
The 2010 race hopes to draw 1,000 participants — 900+ individual athletes, plus those on relay teams.
The cycling route will include sections of FM 1463 and US Hwy. 90, within the Katy city limits. Read the rest of this entry »
