Golden Gate Triathlon Club 100x100 Swim Challenge
Benefiting the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council
ABOUT THE EVENT
On Sunday, February 19th, GGTC will host a 100x100yd swim challenge benefitting the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council. This is a universal test of endurance in the pool and swim as many 100yd sets as you can muster. This challenge is a favorite with swim coaches and professional teams, especially to welcome the New Year!
CHALLENGE A FRIEND, GIVE THE GIFT OF MOTIVATION
- Think of a friend you'd like to see succeed in the water
- Open the Pledge Spreadsheet and pledge to support your friend with a donation for each 100yds swum
- Every time your friend thinks of giving up, they know that just another 100yd means a bit more money for the many impactful programs run by the Ridge Trail!
- After the event, GGTC certifies how much your friend actually swam
- Pledgers are asked to donate the amount of money "earned" to the Ridge Trail below

ABOUT THE RIDGE TRAIL
The Bay Area Ridge Trail is a 550-mile planned trail system along the ridgelines of the SF Bay for hikers, runners, mountain bikers, and equestrians—linking people, parks and open space for today and future generations.
There are currently over 400 miles of trail open to explore through 9 Bay Area counties.
