Do you know the story of Thurmond, WV? 🏚️

At its peak in the early 1900s, Thurmond was one of the most prosperous towns in the entire region — thanks to the booming coal industry and railroad traffic. Today it's one of the most unique towns in America, tucked inside the New River Gorge National Park.

And on June 28th, you'll run right through it.

The Thurmond Triathlon isn't just a race. It's a tour of history on foot (and bike, and river).
