The 6th Annual Buffalo Triathlon Club "Spring Thing" will be held on Saturday, May 10th, 2014.  The event will be based out of the River Oaks Golf Club (201 Whitehaven Rd, Grand Island, NY 14072).
 
 
Note that we will be staggering the long course and intermediate course starting times so that our members will be finishing around the same time.
  • 8am: The “Long Course” - approximately 100 mile bike ride (5 loops of Grand Island), followed by a 12 mile run (four loops of the 3 mile run course).

  • 9am: The "Timed Century" - approximately 100 mile bike ride (5 loops of Grand Island).  No run.    

  • 1pm: The "Intermediate Course" - approximately 40 mile bike ride (2 loops of Grand Island) followed by a 6 mile run (two loops of the 3 mile run course).
“Transition Area” opens at 7:00am.  River Oaks Golf Club, 201 Whitehaven Rd, Grand Island, NY 14072.

It is important to note that the course is not a closed course, so all traffic laws must be followed and caution is warranted the entire day.

There will be an award ceremony immediately following the event on site at the River Oaks Golf Club.  We will be ordering food from River Oaks as participants finish and we will have access to the golf club facilities.
 
We are also looking for volunteers.  If you are interested in volunteering, or have any question regarding the event, please contact Charlie Watson and Joe Drees via email at:
