The Fallbrook YMCA will be hosting its 3rd-Annual Youth Triathlon on Saturday, August 17 in support of the YMCA Annual Campaign-Strong Kids.
“This event is a great way to give the kids a taste of the triathlon setting in a fun and non-competitive environment,” commented Melissa Walker, Health and Wellness Director for the Fallbrook YMCA. “It’s a great opportunity to promote fitness and activity while also giving back to a great cause.”
