A nighttime triathlon returned for the nocturnal athletes of Carbon County this summer, as teenager Joel Seeley worked hard to bring the Moonlight Triathlon to the area.
The event took place toward the end of July and was brought about due to Seeley participating in the long-standing Lunatic Triathlon when he was younger and thoroughly enjoying it. Though the founder of that triathlon was no longer in the area, Seeley worked with the Southeast Utah Health Department (SEUHD) to revive the idea.
Seeley stated that he and his friends wanted an event such as this one to help keep them active during the summertime. The SEUHD sponsored the kid’s race, meaning that the first 30 kids that registered raced free.
That race began at 8 p.m. while the adult triathlon took place at 10 p.m. Results are as follows:
