Win $1,500 for Church Missions!
We at Front Street United Methodist Church in Burlington, North Carolina are excited about the sixth year of a successful event to raise money for mission ministries. Our church, along with Set Up Events, the Burlington Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Burlington City Council are again sponsoring the Buckner Mission Man Triathlon. This year's event will be held on July 25, 2009 at the same site: Lake Cammack Park & Marine in Burlington.
A unique aspect of this event is that church teams may enter the contest to win money for that church's mission endeavors. This year the requirements for church teams have changed so please read the Church Team Information page carefully. All church teams will be relay teams consisting of three (3) members each running one leg of the race. One member of each relay team must be a member of the sponsoring Church. The finish time for each 3-person team will be handicapped based on the number of female and minister participants. There will be $3,600 in total award money distributed to the first, second, third, and fourth place church team winners. This award money may be donated by the winning teams to their mission of choice.
The cost for church teams to participate is covered by registration fees with Set Up Events.
A church team who wants to participate must:
1. Register as a relay team at http://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_detail&eventID=1202 by 7/23/09.
2. Complete a Church Team Registration Form.
3. Email missionmantriathlon@gmail.com a completed registration form by 7/23/09. You can also fax the form to 336-227-7905. Church Teams who do not register with FSUMC until race day will be assessed a 1 minute penalty on race time.
Team registration and packet pick up will be held on Friday, 7/24/09, at Front Street United Methodist Church in Burlington, NC.
This race fills up quickly, so register early. It is our sincere desire that your church join with ours in this fun and exciting way to use the gifts God has blessed us with to glorify His name.
