On
Sept. 23, athletes from the area will test their strength in ‘Pain in the
Alleganies’, a half iron man and relay event, at the Allegany State Park. A
Half Ironman consists of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile
run. The event will also include an Aquabike Half, Sprint Triathlon, and a
Duathlon coordinated by ScoreThis!!.
The
Red Cross needs volunteers on Sept. 22 to help setting up the course, and on
race day to work at water stations, registration tables and along the courses.
“This is a great event for the Cattaraugus County area,” stated Kathy Burch,
chapter assistant executive director. “Every person who signs up to volunteer
for the Red Cross on the day of the event earns the Chapter a donation towards
our programs and services in Cattaraugus County. They also receive a free t-shirt from race
organizers.”
For
more information, please contact the Olean Red Cross Office at 716-372-5800.
The American Red Cross of Southwestern New York is a United Way agency.
