Thanks to all who participated and volunteered at the 2009 STARR Trek Tri!. Results are posted. Check the STARRS web site for photos.
The STARR Trek is a fun, entry-level race for children and adults of all ability levels. It is primarily geared toward beginners, but the short, flat course is popular with experienced triathletes as well. It is put on by the STARRS (South Texas Area Runners, Riders, and Swimmers) triathlon club and benefits the Children's Advocacy Center of the Coastal Bend and the Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi Tarpon Foundation. This is a USAT (USA Triathlon) sanctioned event.
*Kids who participate in the 7 to 10 age group will be eligible to win a brand new Trek bike (Parents please note: age groups and distances are determined by age on December 31, 2009, not by age on race day, according to USAT rules.) A drawing for the bike will be held after the race. Door prizes, available to all ages, will also be raffled.
STARR Trek is a "green" event. Race director Rachel Rivera has worked very hard to offset the race's carbon footprint and make the event as environmentally friendly as possible. Last year, some proceeds from the race helped STARRS plant a grove of native trees in Cole Park.
