    The Grapes of Wrath Triathlon is a fast and fun race in the central valley located east of Delano, CA. This event features a lake swim in Lake Woollomes, a fast and flat road bike course, and a run which is part trail and part paved finishes the race. Each athlete registered for the Grapes of Wrath Triathlon will receive a custom t-shirt, athlete goody bag, swim cap, post-race meal, and be eligible for raffle prizes and race awards three-deep in each division. Take the weekend and come up and enjoy this fun event with your family.

    About the venue:

    Three miles southeast of Delano, CA, nestled in the vinyards and orchards of the Central San Joaquin Valley is Lake Woollomes, a 300-acre reservoir with 4 miles of shoreline, making it a cozy location for water recreation.

    Swimming is allowed here, making this destination perfect for hot summer days. There’s also a boat dock and a launch ramp for those wishing to take to the water. But, the use is restricted to non-powered boats, so only sailboats, SUPs, and kayaks can be used on the lake.

    This fast, flat course is the perfect place to get your next PR.

    Note:

    A USAT membership is required for the Triathlon, (but not the 5k/10k) If you do not have one, you can purchase one during the registration process.

    A community FUN RUN 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk inspired by Blaine Chandler’s light and love for others at Sundale School in Tulare.

    “Blaine was the heart of his family — full of light, music, faith, and service. He loved helping others, dreamed big, and lived with joy beyond his years. Blaine lived with joy and purpose beyond his years, teaching everyone around him to love big and keep smiling. Though our hearts ache, we are committed to honoring his legacy by continuing to serve and strengthen our community in his name,” -Blaine’s sister, Addyson.

    This race is being run for every family navigating grief, hope, and the importance of children’s mental health.

    Your support will help fund Blaine’s Corral at Sundale Elementary and raise awareness for children’s mental health initiatives in our community. Blaine was passionate about his school’s farm, and we hope to make it a place to shine for years to come.
