We appreciate all your past efforts as a volunteer and wanted to invite you to join us again this year for the 6-year anniversary of the Tri!

When we started back in 2008, we had no idea the Tri for a Cure would grow to this size. Last year, we had more than 1000 athletes and raised over $1 million dollars to support cancer research, education and patient support programs here in Maine.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Please consider joining us again this year, we need lots of people for many different positions.
