The 5th Annual Bec Tri - August 4, 2012
The Vail Valley Charitable Fund is proud to present the 5th Annual BecTri. This fun sprint triathlon challenges athletes of all abilities. Race as an individual or with friends as a team - it's a great race for beginners and all levels of athletes are encouraged to participate. Registration is open now at Active.com.
Date and Time
Saturday, August 4, 2012. 8 AM Start. Racers should arrive to Nottingham Park by 7 AM.
Location
Harry A. Nottingham Park in Avon, Colorado, 81620
Race Course
The race starts with a 400 meter swim in the beautiful Nottingham Lake. Swimmers should be prepared for water temperatures around 65-68 degrees. Wetsuits are recommended, but not required. If you need a wetsuit, check out WetsuitRental.com. The 15 km bike portion takes off from Nottingham Park and circles through the Singletree neighborhood. The hill through the Singletree neighborhood climbs 400' gently over about 1.7 miles. So it could be called a moderate hill. Look at it as a challenge, not a threat. Hop off your bike in Avon's Nottingham Park and finish with a fast 5 km run or walk along the Eagle River path. Finish while friends, family and fans cheer you on.
Race Fees & Registration
Registration is open now at Active.com until July 31, 2012. Race as an individual or in a team of two or three people.

Bec Tri is named in memory of Rebecca Lynn Yarberry, a local triathlete and dear friend who passed away in a tragic car accident in 2007. Becky dedicated her life to helping others personally and through her career as a clinical supervisor at Colorado Mountain Medical in Vail, CO. We honor her memory by presenting a race that supports the charitable causes she was passionate about, and honor her spirit by fostering a race environment that is encouraging to everyone, regardless of skill level.
BecTri is a non-profit race and any funds in reserve are donated to the Vail Valley Charitable Fund & CURE International. Vail Valley Charitable Fund helps local residents facing hardship due to medical crisis. CURE International is devoted to medical missions around the world.
