    Help us get to 500 participants (in-person or virtual any distance) and we will give ONE MALE and ONE FEMALE participant a FREE YEAR of Fit & Able-owned races! That's a FREE entry of your choice to each Fit & Able race - a nearly $1,000 VALUE!

    Fit & Able is proud to announce that after a five-year hiatus we are going back to our roots in multi-sport racing at the place it all started - the YMCA! Choose your challenge with four race distances to pick from:

    • Dip & Dash: 50 Yard Swim, 1 Mile Run 
    • Splash & Flash: 100 Yard Swim, 2 Mile Run
    • Plunge & Plod: 200 Yard Swim, 3 Mile Run
    • Surf & Turf: 350 Yard Swim, 4 Mile Run

    Participants can choose to run the race individually (as usual) or they can team up with a partner on a relay team (separate awards for both categories!). Relay teams must have two members: one team member will complete the swim and one team member will complete the run. 

    * USA Triathlon: This is a USAT sanctioned event. USAT membership is required for all participants in any in-person race; virtual race participants do not need USAT membership. USAT members will be able to provide their current membership number while registering. Non-USAT members must purchase either an annual or one-day USAT membership while registering or when checking in on race day. More information on USAT membership is available here: https://www.usatriathlon.org/membership

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.
