Tri for Life Triathlon Initiative

The first annual Tri For Life event will center around the Breezy Point Triathlon. This year, the Breezy Point Triathlon will be held at the Norfolk Naval Base, Norfolk, Va, on Sunday, June 1st. We understand that many carcinoid patients cannot not participate in the triathlon themselves but would still like toget involved. Great! There will be many opportunites. The first opportunity is to help form and register both teams and individuals. It is possible to compete individually or as a team, however, there are only thirty places available to teams so please be sure to register on the first day of registration: January 1st. We hope to use this event as an avenue to gather the neuroendocrine community: patients, family, friends, and medical professionals.

If you'd like to register yourself or a team: click here.

If you'd like to participate in some other way, send us a note to join our support team.

Take the steps to find a cure:

1. Register as soon as possible!

2. January 1st-March: Breezy Point fills up fast. Register teams and individuals.

3. February-April: Begin training fundraising. For simple instructions click here. These funds will help map the genome responsible for cancer growth.

4. April-May: Continue training and spread the word throughout the community. If you have an idea for attracting media coverage for this Tri For Life event, let us know.

5. June 1st, 8:00 am: Breezy Point Triathlon begins!!!

COMPETE TO COMPLETE:

You don’t have to be a great athlete to compete as our our goal is simply to complete the race: individually or on a team. If you can swim, cycle, or run (no matter how fast or slow), you can join one of our teams. All participants may keep blogs to chronicle their training and preparation for the race.
