The certification brings state and national recognition to the race. Participants will try to better personal record times or better a state or regional record set at a previous USA Tri-Fed certified race course. The purpose of this race is to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Memphis. The house is built to accommodate 24 families a night where they can cook meals and do laundry as needed. Children have a place to play, parents can relax and most importantly, families have the emotional support they need from other families coping with the stress of a seriously ill child.
Swimmers start from the waters edge according to swim time and age group.
No wetsuits allowed.
