Red Deerians swam, ran and rode bicycles to complete the annual Woody's Triathlon this weekend.
The annual event was held at the Michener Aquatic Centre on a rainy Saturday, June 21. Participants began swimming in the pool at the centre, before moving on to cycling and then running.
"The 2025 Woody’s Triathlon was only a success because of this committee, amazing volunteers, dedicated sponsors and inspiring athletes," states a post on the Woody's Triathlon Facebook page.
"Mother Nature wasn’t exactly on our side but today was about resiliency, grit and finishing with a smile … those beautiful medals were just the icing on the cake."
The event featured different distances for several different ages groups. The junior and adult sprints had competitors swim 750 metres, bike 20 kilometres and run five kilometres.
