Thank you. >> [music] [music] [music] >> Good afternoon. My name is Roger Hartley. I'm the chairman of the Littleton Rotary Club's 22nd Appleman Triathlon race that is going to be held

13
00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:33.000
Sunday, July 19th, starting at 8:00 a.m. down at the Long Lake in Littleton. So, this is our largest fundraiser of the year and all of the proceeds of

14
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:49.480
this event are going to local charities that that we have been involved in. We've been doing this for 22 years, so we think we're getting things right finally and it's a very popular race. We expect

15
00:08:49.480 --> 00:09:06.760
somewhere around 450 entrants to participate in the run, bike, and swim event. Our event is sanctioned by the United States Triathlon Association and

16
00:09:06.760 --> 00:09:22.360
that brings us runners from all around the area who participate in various uh uh point types of contest and the reason why this is so popular is that our timing of this

17
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:39.760
event is uh pretty exact. Uh we have a a professional timing group, New England Timing, that comes and they time the the runners for each part of the of event and that goes into the USAT TA's

18
00:09:39.760 --> 00:09:56.320
database for all the various competitions. We're we have some kind of unique things about our our our race. We are giving a medal for everyone who finishes. It's kind of a fun medal, so we do that.

19
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:12.840
And the winners, the prize, no trophies for us, but we give a nice bottle of maple syrup for the the winners on the victory stand. And then every swimmer is required to wear a swim cap, so we have the

20
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:30.480
our Appleman logo on the the swim caps and they all get that as well. But what makes our event really special is the participation. We we get to to make this a big fundraiser. We are receiving funds for

21
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:48.240
both the the participants and the sponsors. And today we have our premier sponsor with us, Jake Basnett from Basnett Plumbing and Heating is is here and it's he's they have stepped up in a big way
