The Essex Board of Health is holding its third annual Essex Youth Triathlon on Sat., Aug. 6th for youth of all abilities, ages 5 through 15. This event is held to encourage healthy habits that our youth can carry into adulthood by instilling the joy of health, excitement of physical activity and pride of participation. Cost is $25 per participant, with a family maximum cost of $50. USAT membership is required to participate in the triathlon. This is available for a $5 annual fee at the USAT website. Pre-registration for the triathlon is required. Additional information on the triathlon, including forms, the link to the USAT, and the link to active.com for electronic registration, is available on the Town of Essex website, www.essexma.org.
If you would like to help by volunteering or by making a donation of money, raffle prizes or gifts for the participant “goodie” bags, please contact the BOH at 978 768-7614 or boh@essexma.org.
