As the ponds start to warm up, the open water will soon be bobbing with wet suits as many NLRunners prepare for any or all of the this year's triathlons. Here's a summary of events and all can be found on our NL Running & MultiSport Calendar. Note that if you don't like the water there's always the team event!
