The annual Lakeshore Triathlon is donating over $13,000 to local groups and organizations.
Following the recent race on July 20 in Saugeen Shores, the triathlon donated $5,000 each to the Kawbaeshiwim Respite Women’s Shelter on Saugeen First Nation and the Women’s House Serving Bruce and Grey, as well as $1,000 each to the Saugeen Shores Lifesaving Club, Blue Water Rescue, and Bruce Shrine Club, and $500 to St. John Ambulance.
Race Director Sarah Foster says they were pleased to be able to donate $13,500 to local community organizations, which is almost double the amount they were able to donate last year.
“We are excited every year to execute our race where women of any age and ability are able to compete. A close second to the completion of the race is the donations we are able to make from our race proceeds,” says Foster. “We are so appreciative of the support we receive to put on the race, that also allows us to give back to where we run our race.”
Additionally, the Lakeshore Triathlon is launching new branding about the race with an updated website on Nov. 1, including details about the 2025 race.
