Hellyer Half Marathon Race Report
This race has been around since 2011 and takes place along the (entirely paved) Coyote Creek Trail near Hellyer Park and Velodrome.

We sent out a survey to club members at the end of last year to ask for member feedback about how SCTA can improve. One


President's Update: Looking back, rain and our club.
Hey all you crazy triathletes! Following up on my Facebook past, I am riding a natural high as I continue to look forward after my knee surgery two years ago. I know this may be a #FirstWorldProblem but while I was still out from anesthesia, the doc came out of surgery and told my wife that I probably wouldn't be able to run much anymore. Take that news as you wake up! Can you imagine? Waking up being told that you won't be able to run. But...slowly and under the guidance of
