TRY-athlon Challenge – July 7 to Aug. 3

This four-week fitness event challenges participants to complete the distances of a full or half ironman triathlon in an unconventional way: run or walk the miles, bike indoors or outdoors, and complete the swimming portion on a rowing machine.

Those interested should sign up by July 3 by emailing the Center for Healthy Living with name and intention of completing either a full or half ironman triathlon.

  • A full ironman triathlon involves running 26.2 miles, biking 112 miles and rowing 2.4 miles.
  • A half ironman triathlon involves running 13.1 miles, biking 56 miles and rowing 1.2 miles.

Those who complete the challenge will be entered into a prize raffle, which includes two $50 UNMC bookstore gift cards.
