TG Multisport
Club, a not for profit division of Tri Geeks
Multisport, is pleased to be organizing the 4th
annual Walnut Grove sprint distance triathlon ( 750m
swim, 18km bike, and 5km run) in Walnut Grove,
a community of Langley BC, on August 7th, 2011.
In 2010 we raised over $4,000.00 on behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
of Canada.
We look
forward to having The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada's volunteers from The Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT)
program at the race again. Through their
support and dedication they prove why they are one of the world's first, best and
largest endurance sports training program. For
more than 20 years, over 420,000 people, from
beginners to seasoned athletes, have trained with
the Team to complete a full or half marathon, a
century bike ride or a triathlon. You can join
the Team In Training in the Fraser Valley or
Vancouver to help
find a cure for blood cancers.
