On Sunday June 9th Tater Racing in a Commercial Co-Venture with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. will conduct Tri for Jimmy (formerly Wave Triathlon), a sporting event with Triathlons, Duathlons, Aqua Bike and Splash and Dash event options, benefitting The Jimmy Fund.

The “Sprint Distance” races consists of a combination of a .3 mi (~600 yd) swim in Pequot Pond or a 3 mi run at Hampton Ponds State Park, followed by a 13 mi bike ride, and a 3 mi run.

The “Super Sprint” race consists of a combination of a 300 yd swim or a 300 yd run, a 6.3 mi bike, and a 1 mi run. These distances are the perfect first race for the aspiring triathlete.
