Thurmond, WV – (103CIR) The Town of Thurmond is making plans to hold the Thurmond Triathlon, a beginner triathlon, on Sunday, August 8, 2021. The beginner triathlon will take place in Thurmond and is open to anyone 7 years of age and older.

According to Missy Dragan, “We feel there are a lot of individuals, and maybe families, that would like to participate in a triathlon but need something that is more beginner friendly.”
New this year, due to Covid, Thurmond is unable to provide any equipment and participants will need to provide their own equipment. Registration will be held beginning at 8:30 am in Thurmond at the Dun Glen Day use area on Sunday, August 8.
