Conneaut Lake Sprint Triathlon

We are celebrating the 29th annual Muskie 5k. This longstanding event supports Jamestown Students for Charity Club, which helps many students in the Jamestown Area School District, using its funds to help those in our community in need. The weeknight race runs through Pymatuning State Park in Jamestown, PA. This unique course runs across the Pymatuning Dam, offering picturesque views of the reservoir and park. Handmade wooden muskie trophies will be given to the overall winners male and female and the top 3 finishers male and female in each age bracket.

*New for this year!!! 1/2 mile kids race ($5 entry fee)

Tim's House for First Responders was founded in 2018 by Meaghan Valesky, who lost her father to suicide. He was a firefighter and paramedic who fought the silent battle of mental health. Since his passing, Meaghan has been working tirelessly to put an end to the stigma and lower the suicide rate. Through the various fundraisers that the organization does each year, Tim's House gives ALL money back to the first responder to help cover medication, hospitalizations, mental health evaluations, bills, and so much more.

For Mental Health Awareness Month, Tim's House will be doing their very first 5K Run/Walk. This race will be taking place in Jamestown, PA. Registration begins at 6am going until 8am and the race starts at 8:30am.

We cannot do all we do without your help. We look forward to see everyone for a great day of racing. We cannot thank you enough for all your support. We also extend our deepest thanks to the Borough of Jamestown for permitting us to utilize their town for this race!
