Tully Lake Triathlon

3rd Annual Tully Lake Triathlon Another Success

You’ve got to love New England. The entire week before the 3rd Annual Tully Lake Triathlon staff, volunteers, and participants were preparing for a cold and rainy, if not snowy, end of the season event. The tents were up, and a heater rented for the band, and alas, Mother Nature (or perhaps it was the weather forecasters) had played a prank. The 120 race participants and over 100 staff, volunteers, and supporters enjoyed an incredibly perfect sunny late autumn day while celebrating the unique set of recreational opportunities here in the North Quabbin Region.

This year there were 40 individual racers (Ironmen or Ironwomen) 15 two person teams, 10 three person teams and 5 four person teams. Prizes made up of gifts donated by local businesses were given to the top 3 finishers in each category. See the link for the race results.

Brother’s Bistro served up some excellent food to keep spectators and participants warm on the chilly day, and students from Oak Meadow Montessori School sold coffee while Melanie and the Blueshots played from underneath the tent. The Royalston EMS provided medical support and Royalston Police tended to the road safety for the run. Many others pitched in to make this event a success such as Poirier Guidelines in Orange who provided cones to mark the transition zones and race routes.

The official sponsors of the event were Goodrich, Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust, WJDF, North Quabbin Woods, Lyesiuk Flooring, Apex Orchards Hohengasser Plumbing, Westwood Sign, Hamshaw Lumber, Trail Head, Oak Meadow Montessori School, and Orange Wal-Mart.

We are continuing to improve the Triathlon with helpful feedback from racers and participants and look forward to this race becoming both more enjoyable for the racers and a larger draw for the local community.
