The Rec Center is having an indoor triathlon 8 a.m. Saturday benefitting children at NECCO, a foster care company in Huntington.
Last year, the race raised more than $2,t000 for NECCO.
The triathlon includes swimming, biking, spinning and running.
The triathlon for adult participants will consist of swimming for 300 yards, biking eight miles and spinning and running two miles
The triathlon for children will consist of swimming for 150 yards, biking four miles, and running one mile.
Children must be at least 4-foot-2 in order to participate in the triathlon because of the biking portion.
Participants who are unfamiliar with the Rec Center can tour the building before the event.
Registration for the event is $20 in advance and $40 the morning of the race.
Packet pick-up is available Friday from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
