Tri for Wilderness

August 12,2010 by Emily Loose

Your Cause Sports, a fairly recent addition to the Boulder triathlon racing circuit, gives racers a unique opportunity to raise money and awareness for a nonprofit of their choice.  Pretty exciting stuff, especially for someone like me who likes to race triathlons and is passionate about a specific cause (in case you didn’t know, I think Nature is Cool).

5430 Long Course, 2009

This September, I’ll be racing to support wilderness, worldwide.  On 11 September, I’ll suit up for the Boulder Sunset Triathlon, an Olympic distance race (1500m swim, 23 mi bike, 10k run).  In the meantime, I’m raising money and awareness for Nature Needs Half™ – WILD’s global vision to protect at least half of the planet, land and water, in an interconnected way.  It’s a big, bold goal.  It’s backed by the best science.  It’s what we need to do as stewards of the planet earth.  And, I’m ‘wildly’ excited about it!

I’ll post some updates as we get closer to race day and will definitely post the results.  Kicked off my late summer training with a sunrise bike-ride this morning – beautiful!  Help me meet my goal of $1000 for Nature Needs Half™ >
