More than 1,000 physically-challenged and able-bodied athletes will compete for a total prize payout of $6,000 at the upcoming Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) 12th annual PossAbilities Triathlon. The triathlon is presented by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, who will be presenting a sponsor’s check for $200,000 at the event. It is set for 7 a.m., Sunday, April 27th, at the Drayson Center, 25040 Stewart St., Loma Linda. The event includes a 5K Run/Walk/Roll, a Kids Triathlon, which is 1/4 mile run, 1/4 mile bike-ride and 25 yard swim, and an Adult Triathlon including a 3.1 mile run, 11 mile bike-ride and 150 yard swim, where physically challenged athletes compete alongside able-bodied athletes. This year’s event also features popular entertainers Judy and David, the award-winning stars of TV and stage also known as “Canada’s Sing-Along Superstars,” who will provide entertainment at 10 a.m., following the kids’ race. The duo will perform “JiggiJump,” an energetic combination of music, movement, and narrative adventure that will inspire young children to be physically active. “We’re very excited for the 12th edition of the LLUH PossAbilities Triathlon, which keeps growing every year and is becoming a must-attend event for our physically-challenged, able-bodied athletes and friends,” said PossAbilities Director Pedro Payne. “We are also very excited to power up the entertainment portion of the event with the appearance of Judy and David, whose live concert tours have already inspired hundreds of thousands of school children to JiggiJump,” he said.
