Pennington Law Firm LLC is on board as the presenting sponsor of the 2011 Columbia Downtown Triathlon to be held on Sunday 27 March at 1:30 pm.
The event, which is USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned, is organised by leading US triathlon event organiser Set Up Events. It will include a 500m swim at the Blatt PE Center on the University of South Carolina campus, a 3-loop 10 mile bike course and a 5K run through the streets of downtown Columbia.
The Columbia Downtown Triathlon benefits the SADS (Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes) Foundation. Sudden arrhythmia death syndromes are genetic heart conditions that can cause sudden death in young, apparently healthy people.
These conditions can be treated and deaths can be prevented. Triathlon participants can make donations to this cause during the registration process.
“We are happy to be involved in this event for such a worthy cause,” said Gary Pennington, Principal of Pennington Law Firm LLC. “All of us at the firm are committed to promoting healthy lifestyle choices and some of us will be participating in the triathlon.”
