SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Almaden Valley Athletic Club® (AVAC®), today announced its upcoming TriAVAC event as Saturday, February 9, 2019. This annual community event promises a unique family day full of races, swim, food and fun for all ages to enjoy. TriAVAC features an introductory-level race perfectly suited for novices as well as veterans looking for a pre-race season warm-up. TriAVAC's goal is to spread the importance of movement and health while donating proceeds to the Cambrian School District's Physical Education, Food Science, and Nutrition Program Departments.
TriAVAC is organized into four specific events: An adult race of 400-yard swim in AVAC's outdoor swimming pool, 5-mile bike ride on spinning bikes, and 2-mile neighborhood run. For ages 11-14 there is a junior race with a 200-yard swim, 3-mile bike, and 1 mile run. This season will also include a Kids Splash & Dash (10 & under) and a Kids Duathlon (2 – 5 years.) In the past, the race has drawn over 150 competitors each year, including world-class athletes such as Becky Gibbs, Pete Kain and Shari Kain. The race is open to all ages and fitness levels including professional athletes to beginners interested in the sport and families that wish to train together.
"AVAC® introduced its first TriAVAC event in 1983 to meet its members' growing interest in the sport," said Jeff Griffith-Jones, GM of AVAC®. "Since its inauguration, TriAVAC has been a local favorite. We enjoy bringing it back to the community each year and encourage everyone to participate."
In addition to race events, TriAVAC will also feature raffle prizes, gift cards, goodies and various community vendor booths. "We love opening our doors to neighbors and friends every year to celebrate and give back to our community for their continued support," said Jeff Griffith-Jones, GM of AVAC®.
