WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - A women only triathlon was held Saturday morning as competitors swam, biked and ran to help raise money for cancer awareness.
More than 80 competitors came out to the second annual Women Only Triathlon at Boilermaker Aquatic Center.
Hosted by Haka Multisport, the event helps raise money for the YWCA Women's Cancer Program.
The program helps more than 2,000 under-insured and uninsured women in 23 counties throughout Indiana receive breast and cervical cancer screenings.
Race director Michael Groaning says they keep the course short, so that more women will join.
"The thing that's interesting is that there's so many people, who are afraid of swimming and are actually doing this race. I think the fact that it's women's only helps also reduces that intimidation factor," said Groaning.
In addition to Saturday's triathlon,?Groaning says they plan have additional races throughout the coming years, including those that are more kid oriented.
