Row, Ride, Run Triathlon to draw 61 athletes Saturday

The annual Saint Mary’s “Row, Ride, Run Triathlon” will take place on Saturday, April 30, at 9 a.m. at Lake Winona. Sixty-one athletes from throughout the Midwest are registered for the race.

Participants will canoe or kayak a 2.5-mile loop around Lake Winona, then bike 14 miles from Lake Winona to the SMU campus. Once on campus, racers will run 3.1 miles through the bluffs surrounding the university.

Proceeds assist Serving Others United in Love (SOUL), a program of SMU’s Office of Campus Ministry. Through SOUL, members of the Saint Mary’s community participate in national and international service trips.
