Full Results and Coverage of the Winter Indoor Triathlon

As some of you may have seen from a few of the videos and pictures posted on our Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter pages over the weekend, the 2nd Annual Delaware Charity Challenge Winter Games was held this past weekend. The weather generally cooperated and 138 athletes competed in this year's indoor triathlon competition. Overall, it was a great success and a lot of fun, and most importantly, the teams were able to raise lots of money for their favorite causes. The highlights from the weekend are provided below.

Our next event, the 5K and Adventure Challenge Relay is on Saturday, May 6 at Lums Pond State Park. Teams have already started to form and will be soon raising money. Details for that challenge (and the First State Duathlon, on July 15, 2017 at Bellevue State Park) are below.

Congratulations again to all of our winning teams and participants and we will be posting lots more pictures soon! Thanks again.
