Scooter Race
Championship heat of the scooter race at the Delaware Charity Challenge Indoor Triathlon.
Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund's Brian Mahoney holds up his racing scooter in triumph after winning the scooter race on Saturday.
We wanted to introduce a fun element to the Delaware Charity Challenge Winter Games, not unlike the Adventure Challenge Relay, which we do as part of the Delaware Charity Challenge 5K in the Spring. It was a big hit and teams seemed to enjoy it. There were two heats, with winners advancing to the finals. In the end, Team Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund won the scooter race and a $100 prize for the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund.
