Celebrating Heroes Triathlon

The 2014 Celebrating Heroes Triathlon, is an inspirational sprint triathlon taking place amid the rolling countryside of Howard County, MD. Join us in July to celebrate the birth of our nation's independence, and applaud the spirit of the American Hero. TriColumbia salutes the many heroes that make our nation great; from military veterans, wounded warriors, and first responders to everyday unsung heroes who go out of their way to selflessly lend a hand to provide hope and help to those in need.

Participate In The Celebating Heroes First Responders Challenge

The Celebrating Heroes First Responders Challenge allows first responders to compete with other first responders. Top individual male and female as well as top relay teams (male, female & coed) will receive a donation of $500.00 to their non-profit organization of choice. 2nd and 3rd place male and female first responders will receive an award. Receiving an award in this category does not preclude athletes from receiving other age group and relay awards.
