Front Street United Methodist Church is Proud to Announce Buckner Companies as the Naming sponsor of the Mission Man Triathlon
|
 Front Street United Methodist Church is proud to announce that Buckner Companies has agreed to be the Naming sponsor of the 2005 Mission Man Triathlon. For the second year, Front Street United Methodist Church will host the event at Lake Cammack Marina in Burlington on July 30, 2005. This premier athletic event promises to be one of the largest in the state. The race plans to be an exciting event for triathletes as well as spectators.
With the support of Buckner Companies, Front Street United Methodist Church, and many sponsors and volunteers the Mission Man Triathlon will make a difference in the lives served by the missions of Front Street United Methodist Church. With last year’s overwhelming success and interest this year the race has expanded from 400 to 600 triathletes.
Athletes who compete in the MMT can expect a serious challenge. All competitors begin with a half-mile shoreline swim in Lake Cammack, a large and quite warm (a chilly 61 degrees is average) lake north of Burlington. The cyclists then pedal through beautiful lakefront neighborhoods and onto quiet rural county roads for their 15-mile bike ride. Finally, a 3.2 mile trail run awaits, winding runners around the beautiful shoreline of the lake.
The race site itself is a very festive area with tents set up for food, water, and first-aid.
In addition to sponsoring this event, Buckner will also have two employees who will also be participating in this event, Buckner’s President Doug Williams and Dispatcher Mark Mehaffey.
If you are available, please feel free to come and show your support for all the triathletes.
Just one more way Buckner is...GOING THE DISTANCE.
