ONE MORE TRI 2021 is once again a virtual triathlon. There’s still swimming, biking, and running. But ONE MORE TRI participants take on just two of the three legs.

About 2021 One More Tri Virtual Relays

About the Event

2021 ONE MORE TRI will be all Unified Relays.

A Unified Relay joins athletes with and olymp trade broker without disabilities on the same team. It’s inspired by a simple principle: competing together is a quick path to understanding and acceptance. And foster a community of inclusion along the way.

SONJ Event Staff will pair ONE MORE TRI participants with SONJ athletes to form Unified Relay Teams.

Participant(s) pick 2 legs: Swim & Bike, Bike & Run, or Swim & Run. Legs do not need to be completed on the same day. Or even by the same people. One participant can do both legs. Or buddy up with a friend/family member and take on one leg each.

Finally the participant will then pass the virtual baton to their Special Olympics athlete relay partner. The SONJ athlete picks a strength/fitness challenge from the list of approved activities, practices it, and crushes it!

How it Works

You pick your distance: Sprint or Super Sprint.
- Sprint: .25 Mile Swim – 12 Mile Bike – 3 Mile Run
- Super Sprint: .1 Mile Swim – 6 Mile Bike – 1.5 Mile Run

I am writing to thank and commend you for a wonderful wonderful event. Every single person I encountered was so kind, encouraging, enthusiastic, invested in the cause. It was really inspiring.

The course was flawless, the instructions were impossible to confuse. Everything was organized, and I don't think a single person whom I asked a question replied with, "I don't know". A lot of the volunteers were silly and made us all smile. There was one super crazy lady at transition exit who never stopped dancing. Bike course volunteers were all super competent. Run course volunteers were full of words and cheers. All ages and sizes. The bunches of students were extra funny, and since I was going slow, I did take the time to be silly back, and tell them they were appreciated.

EXTRA APPRECIATED: gluten free options at the end! I think that was the best cheese sandwich I ever had. What a thing to have thought of.

I wanted to let you know the event was totally appreciated and enjoyed, and I'm recommending it to everyone.
