About
Us:
Welcome to "Fins Wheels Feet Racing,
Inc."
We are a new, non-profit, triathlon race directing company that brings a great event
to the Northern Virginia region for 2008!
The
4th "Virginia Run Sprint Triathlon,"
We hope to expand our race calendar next year to create a series of exciting
triathlons and children's triathlons.
The primary goal of our organization is to promote health and fitness at all
levels and to provide individuals with the opportunity to participate in
this great sport called triathlon. When we heard the surgeon general
announce this year that the new #1 cause of death in America was obesity,
that encouraged us even more to develop athletic events that will encourage
others to lead healthier and happier lifestyles.
The sport of triathlon is growing at an enormous rate, and there
unfortunately aren't enough local triathlons in Northern Virginia to meet
the growing demand!
Triathlon has a unique multi-sport aspect. Each of the disciplines offer
unique skills and abilities. It provides excellent cross-training and makes
exercising fun and challenging. And from personal experience, the most
rewarding parts of being involved in triathlon are not only the feelings of
great accomplishment after completing a race, but meeting so many amazing
new people along the way.
Most importantly, we hope to pass on our love of the sport of triathlon to
others. The sport has done so many wonderful things for us and we want to
give back to the sport by creating more opportunities for individuals of all
ages to experience them as well.
Through these events, we also give back to the community, because all
proceeds from each of our races will be given to a charity, chosen by our
hosting community!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about
our organization or the events. You can e-mail us at:
