The last T&T Triathlon Fed­er­a­tion (TT­TF) train­ing event lead­ing up to the Rain­bow Cup In­ter­na­tion­al Triathlon, as well as the Pan Amer­i­can Cham­pi­onships, will take place at Chagville, Ch­aguara­mas, on Sun­day from 7 am.

The Keep Fit race will not fea­ture medals as it is non-com­pet­i­tive. A large turnout, how­ev­er, is ex­pect­ed as was for the last one staged in Feb­ru­ary. Mem­bers of the TT­TF and the gen­er­al pub­lic are in­vit­ed to at­tend. Those who reg­is­ter for TT­TF mem­ber­ship will ben­e­fit from re­duced reg­is­tra­tion fees for events sanc­tioned by the fed­er­a­tion.

The event is not on­ly tar­get­ed at ath­letes for a test of their fit­ness, but it is al­so a qual­i­fi­er for the ju­niors and se­niors for the Pan-Am event, which will be held in Ed­mon­ton, Cana­da, next month. Many triath­letes will al­so use the op­por­tu­ni­ty to pre­pare for next month's Neal and Massy Rain­bow Cup, an event host­ed by the Rain­bow War­riors Triathlon Club.

The pres­ence of the top ath­letes is man­dat­ed if they wish to qual­i­fy to rep­re­sent T&T.

The Keep Fit will al­so fea­ture a "Try-a-Tri" race, which is es­sen­tial­ly a short­er ver­sion of the course for be­gin­ners who have nev­er com­pet­ed in a triathlon be­fore.

Al­so in­clud­ed is a duathlon sprint dis­tance race for the ones who would rather not swim.

The reg­is­tra­tion fees for TT­TF mem­bers are $20 (chil­dren) and $40 (adults), while non-mem­bers are $40 (chil­dren) and $80 (mem­bers).

Reg­is­tra­tion is on the morn­ing of the race from 5.30 am to 6.30 am.
