No Mid-Week Football; Been Volksmarching Today?

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED AN "IRONMAN EVENT"?  -  1 Sanctioned Walk (10KM and/or 5KM), 1 Sanctioned Bike, and 1 Sanctioned Swim would effectively be an "Ironman Event."  Those who a really into the REAL Ironman stuff could treat it that way; very young, less athletic, and more mature participants could complete any one or more of the component events (e.g., only a 5KM walk) as they would like.  Event organizers should do more than a typical volkssport event (like timing the competitive participants, appointing events "marshals," and having hydration/medical stations).  Sufficient advertizing, traffic control, a location convenient to the swim, and adequate event planning and preparation could result in attendance larger than that to which your club is accustomed and which will probably grow exponentially if you allow it to become an annual thing!
