In an effort to help a local ‘Save our Pool’ fund, race organiser Dark30 Sports is sponsoring three teams for the Rolf Prima Tri at the Grove triathlon on 24 July at Cottage Grove Lake’s Lakeside Park. The fundraising efforts are all focused on raising US$25,000 to keep the Cottage Grove community pool (Daugherty Aquatic Center) open through to the end of the year.
Dark30 Sports also teamed up with the Cottage Grove Daugherty Aquatic Center’s ‘Save Our Pool’ group to support a triathlon for elementary school students. This was organised by Cottage Grove businessman Ron O’Keefe this past weekend, 9 July, at the Cottage Grove pool. All entry fees went to the Save Our Pool fund.
Rolf Prima, sponsor of the upcoming 24 July Rolf Prima Tri at the Grove event in Cottage Grove sent one of its triathlon team members, Ironman triathlete Annie Loe to talk with the young triathletes before the morning competition began. Loe told the kids about pre-race nutrition (have a good breakfast) and gave a show and tell about her triathlon bike and racing equipment.
