Please remember to bring your old running shoes to donate to this cause at the following Team Magic events this season: Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon, Mountain Lakes Triathlon, Old Hickory Lake Triathlon, and Music City Triathlon. Remember to bring your children�s shoes as well, as they will be donated to orphanages throughout Africa. They will be collecting shoes before, during, and after each event.

For more information on this program, click HERE.

�Team Magic is thrilled to have the opportunity to assist Triathletes for Africa in this charitable endeavor,� said Faye Yates at the Team Magic, Inc Nashville office. �We applaud those who are involved in this effort and thank them for including us at the grass roots level. It is our pleasure to connect the participants at our events with Triathletes for Africa.�

Old Hickory Lake Triathlon Welcome

2007-08-29T20:32:16Z

Hello and thanks for registering for the Old Hickory Lake Triathlon!

PLEASE let you friends know that we only have 43 spots remaining before the race reaches capacity.

We look forward to our 6th annual event in Sumner County with a significant in the bike course - one of your race directors (me) and Mark Evans of ACME Multisport rode the course yesterday morning and marked your miles and turn areas. I must say that I wish I was racing! This is a much improved course with the one loop vs. out and back and only two small areas of slightly rough pavement - the rest is very smooth and great for maintaining momentum on the rolling hills on the newly paved Shute Lane portion.

We will send you a final email next week with race reminders and a link to your race information booklet.

For now, please visit the web site for all event details and do not forget to book your hotel room (if you are traveling from out of town) at the Holiday Inn Express by Friday or they will release the block.

Thanks for racing with Team Magic!
