The eighth annual Great Porcupine Goldrush Triathlon attracted 140 competitors on 49 teams to Timmins, Ont., this summer. There were 86 entrants (30 teams) in the 55-km competitive event, and 54 entrants (19 teams) in the 14-km recreational event.
A first- or second-place finish in the 55-km event, and a first-place finish in the 14-km event, won a gold sample provided by one of three area mines: Falconbridge Gold’s Hoyle Pond, Royal Oak Mines’ Pamour No. 1 and Placer Dome’s Dome.
The annual triathlon is organized and co-ordinated, on a non-profit basis, by the Porcupine Prospectors and Developers Association.
