LOMA LINDA >> The Loma Linda University Health PossAbilities Triathlon took to the streets of Loma Linda on Sunday, April 24. All able-bodied and challenged athletes were invited to participate in the race. There was also a kid’s triathlon. The adult triathlon was composed of three different segments: a 5K (3.1 mile) run/walk/roll; 11-mile bike ride, and a 150-yard swim in the Drayson Center pool. The kid’s triathlon was composed of a quarter-mile run/walk/roll; a quarter-mile bike ride and a 25-yard swim in the Drayson Center pool. Finisher medals were given to all participants. There was also a cash prize purse for the top three overall winners in the adult races. The 14th Annual PossAbilities Triathlon began at 7 a.m. at the Loma Linda University Health Drayson Center on Stewart Street. Adult races started at 7 a.m. and the kid’s race started at 9 a.m. A hotdog lunch and refreshments were provided to participants. Loma Linda University Health PossAbilities, powered by Quest Diagnostics, is a free community outreach program. PossAbilities’ goal is to offer disabled individuals who were born with or have permanent physical injury a sense of community, as well as offer activities and practical direction to help them lead an active, fulfilling life.
