SOUTH BEND — The Center for the Homeless, YMCA of Michiana, Inc. and the Alcohol & Addictions Resource Center are sponsoring the first 3-For-3 Triathlon, set for Aug. 26 at Michiana Family YMCA, 1201 Northside Boulevard.

Students 12-15 years old will swim 100 yards, bike three miles and run half a mile. Children under age 12 will swim 50 yards, biking and running the same distances as 12-15 year olds. The swim portion will take place in the Michiana Family YMCA pool and the kayak option (adults only) will be in the St. Joseph River. The run course is a loop on the Riverwalk between the Michiana Family YMCA and Howard Park.
