NYC Triathlon

Swim, bike, run!

Put yourself to the test and register now for this world-famous event by joining ZERO’s DASH FOR DAD Endurance Team. ZERO has 10 guaranteed spots at the 2012 New York City Triathlon which is an Olympic Distance race consisting of a 1500m swim in the Hudson, a 40k bike trek along Manhattan’s West Side highway and a 10k run through Central Park in the heart of New York City.

Each year, more than 3,000 athletes take the challenge and participate in this exciting event. Please join our DASH FOR DAD team for this competition on Sunday, July 8, 2012 and conquer this athletic challenge while raising money to fight prostate cancer. The fundraising minimum is $2,000.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of male cancer death, killing a man every 18 minutes. Yet, there is hope: 99 percent survive when it’s caught early. Proceeds raised by the DASH FOR DAD Endurance Team will support ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer and its mission to end prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. ZERO operates the Drive Against Prostate Cancer—the only national mobile testing program for the disease. Since the Drive began in 2002, we have tested more than 100,000 men and saved an estimated 11,000 lives through early detection. ZERO has also worked to infuse more than $2 billion of new federal funding for prostate cancer research to find a cure.
