Phillips Wharf is proud to announce that active or retired military and their families will be offered a reduced rate of $52 to participate in all three legs of the annual Tri-Tilghman on September 17, 2016. The race begins at 8 am and ends at 12:30 pm. This event will feature a 3 -mile kayak or paddleboard (new this year) race, 8.2 bike race and a 5k (3.1 mile) run. Participants are welcome to race all three legs by themselves or register as a team. Our first team to be registered is from the Easton Army Recruiting Office. We encourage veterans to join us and enjoy some friendly competition!
Proceeds from the event provide funds that help Phillips Wharf support the Fishmobile, the traveling educational display of Chesapeake Bay animals; food for the animals at Phillips Wharf and continuing support for the construction and completion of the new classroom facility. Following the race families are encouraged to enjoy the post-race activities and explore the center. Refreshments will be available to all participants.
