If you get your feeling of freedom from wheels rolling underneath you via human power, stop by the shop. Yes, that includes guys, gals, and tiny babies in strollers.
(Well done on the Mermaid, Marisol the Organizer!)
Thank You SPONSORS!!!
The 2007 Santa Cruz Mermaid was a huge success!
This was our first triathlon "sell out" as we capped registration at 500 participants. There was an impressive turnout of spectators and we've never seen so many dad's pushing baby strollers as they cheered on their spouses. In all, we estimate that
over 1500 people were in attendance at Seacliff State Beach.
We look forward to growing each of our events in 2008 and with your help
and continued support we'll hit 800 participants next year.
Your support and donations to the Mermaid made it possible for us to donate to local athletics and charity funds. In all the Mermaid donated over $3,500 to our volunteer groups (Harbor High School Water Polo Team, Santa Clara Women's Crew and Santa Clara Men's Crew) as well as the Sara Cole Fund. Sara was hit by a drunk driver several weeks prior to the event and is still recovering from the incident. One of her close friends organized a group to run the triathlon and raise funds for Sara. The Mermaid donated a portion of the groups registration fee to the Sara Cole Fund. If you are interested in more information about the Sara Cole Fund please send us an email.
To all of our mermaid sponsors a most sincere Thank You.
We hope to work with you again at on our 2008 Mermaid Series.
Sincerely,
Mermaid Series
