2021 "Later Gator" Grinder Triathlon-August 14th

Register for 2021 "Later Gator" Grinder Triathlon-August 14th

The North Lake Physical Therapy Gator Grinder Triathlon is an excellent introduction for the first-time triathlete, as well as the seasoned triathlete.  The swim will be in a pool, the bike course is over beautiful rural roads and the run is flat and fast.  There will be road bike, and mountain bike divisions.  All proceeds support the Canby Swim Club.

Please note: due to the pandemic our registration policy is as follows - The August “Later Gator” will be available at a discounted rate of $50 until July 9th.  Price will increase to $75 July 10th. No relay teams will be offered this go around, sorry, but we need to control the number of people gathered that day. Once registered, you will have until July 31 to request a full refund (minus the processing fee charged by the registration company).  After July 31 no refunds or deferments will be granted. If the race is cancelled, any registrations left after July 31 will be considered donations and donation receipts will be available upon request.  We don’t want this to sound harsh but our experience with the 2020 race made it very difficult to keep things financially balanced.  The Canby swim club is a very small non-profit organization run by wonderful parents just wanting kiddos to be able to swim.    

Swim 

500-yard (20 lengths, 10 laps) pool swim in a 6-lane, 25-yard pool, with up to 4 swimmers per lane.  There will be volunteer lap counters.  Drafting is permitted.  The swim will be seeded by the 500-yard swim time participants submit with the entry form.  Heat assignments will be e-mailed by the Monday prior to the race.  The first heat will be in the water at 7:30 a.m.  Check in at least one hour before your start.

Bike The one-loop 12-mile bike course is over the beautiful rolling country roads that surround Canby.  A bike helmet is mandatory.  Drafting is not legal.  Volunteers will manage traffic at intersections, but roads will be open to traffic and cyclists will be responsible for their own safety.

Run

The 3.1-mile run is mostly on roadways with about one-third on a paved walking trail.  The course is flat and fast.  Water will be available on the course.


IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE 2021 GATOR GRINDER TRIATHLON

The race typically sells out, but we also normally go deep in to the wait list.   So if you want in please don’t delay, but if you do end up on the wait list, don't despair... there's a good chance you'll still get in! We do have a cancellation/waitlist policy, please read it carefully.
