Colonial Beach Tri's
The 28th Annual Pohanka Cadillac - YMCA
Colonial Beach Triathlon Festival
Sprint Triathlon - Saturday, July 14 at 6:50 AM
Olympic Triathlon - Sunday, July 15 at 6:50 AM
The Annual Pohanka Cadillac - YMCA Colonial Beach Triathlon was held for the first time in July of 1985. Former YMCA Executive Director Kevin Curtis and Youth/Sports Director Barney Reiley were searching for a site to hold a triathlon where they could have an open swim. Reiley, having taught at Colonial Beach High School in 1982, recommended Colonial Beach as a logical site because of its open swim accessibility, a preexisting 10k run course, and the potential for a beautiful bike course. The event was well received by the town and the YMCA has developed into a perfect chemistry.
The event has drawn competitors from over thirteen different states and appeals to both the recreational triathlete as well as your more serious competitors.
The event has been afforded the prestige of attracting such nationally recognized triathletes such as Jim Knight, Troy Jacobson, Tim Morris, Jeff Brown, and Justin Riddle in the Mens Division; and Maryanne Zuckerman, Janet Hatfield, Nancy Lewis, Desiree Ficker, Karen Holloway, Crystal Pruitt, Deborah Dudas and Leah Daugherty in the Woman's Division.

Those doing BOTH events will be given shirts for each event, and water bottles/caps, plus an added AWARD when you complete both events.
