Tri-Yak-A-Thon Oct. 13

The Gunn Park Trails volunteers would like to invite everyone to enjoy the fall weather and join us for the 6th annual Tri-yak-a-thon. 

This year’s proceeds will benefit the new bike share program. The event will take place on October 13 at 10:00 AM in Gunn Park.

 The Tri-yak-a-thon is a race where participants run on Gunn Park’s beautiful trails, kayak up and down the Marmaton River, and then tackle the trails again on a bike. 

The goal of the event is to have fun and raise money to support the bike share program.

 The trail run is approximately 4 miles, the kayak portion is 2.5 miles, and the final portion is a 7-mile mountain bike ride.  Participate as a relay team, or if you are tough enough you can do the entire race as a solo participant. 

You must bring your own kayak, life jacket, helmet, and mountain bike. 

Riders must wear a helmet.

Onsite registration and packet pickup will be from 8:00 to 9:45 AM at Shelter House 6.  You can register online at https://www.trireg.com/tri-yak-a-thon.

The race will begin at 10:00 AM. 

Whether you enter the race or just come and cheer, please join us and support our park, our trails, and our bike share program.
