Race4Chase Youth Triathlon

Race4Chase Youth Triathlon

Training: June & July 2027

2027 Triathlon: TBA

We are proud to be the first Boys & Girls Club to join the Race4Chase triathlon program inspired by the life of Chase Kowalski and the CMAK Sandy Hook Memorial Foundation.

 

Together with our partners, Bridgeport Caribe Youth Leaders and the Bridgeport YMCA, we joined their mission for the second consecutive year to provide boys and girls ages 6 - 12 with a safe, healthy, non-competitive environment to discover the sport of triathlon! The Triathlon was held on August 1, 2026.


Information on the 2027 event will be released in early 2027. Congratulations to our 2026 triathletes!
