The city of Timmins is hosting two runs this July. They are a great way for participants to test their fitness.
The first event planned is the 11th annual Heart of Gold Triathlon, presented by the Timmins Marlins Swim Club and Triathlon Ontario. A triathlon consists of swimming, cycling and running. There will be several categories of competition, including individual, team, "try-a-tri", and a kids’ triathlon. Overall winners, male and female, will receive $50. Entry fees vary depending on category, with the highest being $70 for individual sprint distance and the lowest being $25 for the kid's triathlon.
Later on in the month, the Mud Factor run returns to Timmins for the 14th year. This is a fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society of Timmins – Porcupine District, and is a non-competitive run. Participants can pay a registration fee of $35 (until June 16th) or $20 for children aged 12 and under, or raise pledges.
Timmins printing companies are often asked to help provide pledge Forms and other printed materials for events like these.
