What is a Triathlon? A triathlon is a continuous activity that starts with swimming, followed by a bike ride and a run. The swimming portion will be conducted in a 25-meter lap swimming pool. The bike and run will be outside. Our goal is to provide this fun physical activity for kids up to 15 years of age. Each participant will receive a T-shirt and a finisher’s gift. Awards will be given to the top three participants in each age group and the top three relay teams.

The Good Work Gang arrived in Cleveland in July 2025 with a philosophy stripped to its core: men showing up for each other, both on the road and in life. Founded on the principle of no egos and just good work, the crew has grown into a multicultural, multigenerational community united by accountability and personal growth. Every Sunday at 8:30 AM, members gather at Steelyard Commons for the Run Buddy Run, a half-marathon-distance effort at a moderate pace where the crew runs together from start to finish. Health, discipline, and the standard they set together define The Good Work Gang, a crew open to all men committed to the work.
