TRI Hayward Hosts First Official Mini-Triathlon

Event Focuses on Local Trails and Scenery

It’s something event organizers in Hayward said the community has been lacking for quite some time, a mini-triathlon.

Finally, after lots of planning the first-ever TRI Hayward was held Saturday.

The course took advantage of the town’s trail system and scenery including a swim at Lake Hayward, a bike ride on the Birkie Trail and a run at Hayward Fish Hatchery Park.

Organizers said the race paid for itself this year, but there were no extra proceeds to donate to a local cause.

They plan on making the race an annual event.
