The Bridgewater Triathlon Club is very pleased to announce that it has been awarded a Wellness Grant from the Lunenburg County Community Health Board.

The grant will be used to purchase and administer a race kit (communications equipment, safety equipment and signage) for use by the BTC and other local groups.

Many thanks to the Lunenburg County Community Health Board for approving our grant request.  The kit should help with the overall safety of participants at events and races throughout Lunenburg County.

Despite the weather forecast, close to record numbers participated in the 2009 Riverport Duathlon held from the Riverport Elementary School on Sunday October 4, 2009.
