The Canby Telcom Gator
Grinder Triathlon is an excellent introduction for the
first-time triathlete, as well as a great early season event for the
experienced racer. The swim will be in a pool, the bike course
is over beautiful rural roads and the run is flat and fast.
There will be road bike, mountain bike and relay divisions. All
proceeds support the Canby Gator Swim Club.
