The program begins with a training seminar in early June and is followed beginning June 29 by a series of eight weekend sessions on Saturday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.
The sessions will be held at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay.
The sessions will instruct students in running, biking, and swimming: the three components of a triathlon. It also teaches the students the importance of preparing for the triathlon; everything from proper nutrition to apparel and bike accessories.There is a $25 fee for the program.
