More than 120 people competed in the inaugural TollTag Triathlon, held June 17 at Toyota of Lewisville Railroad Park. The event, organized by the Greater Lewisville Kiwanis Club, raised more than $7,000 for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Denton County.
“We were pleased to raise a sizeable donation for CASA, and that was only possible because of our wonderful event sponsors,” said Kiwanis spokeswoman Donna Barron.
This timed sprint-style event included a 500-meter open swim, 11-mile bike segment, and 3.1-mile run. The field consisted of 87 men and 40 women, with racers from Flower Mound posting the top times among both men and women. Cole Fugate completed the course in 56 minutes and nine seconds to claim the men’s title. Mallory Tyler finished in 1:18:11 to place as the top woman. Both crossed the finish line more than 90 seconds ahead of their nearest competitors.
“An event like the TollTag Triathlon is valuable to the city because it showcases our park and brings visitors to Lewisville,” said City Councilman R. Neil Ferguson.
“I support community events such as this one because it showcases a phenomenal park, brings visitors to our community and provides funding for CASA – an agency that helps many children in Denton County,” said ProTow owner Mike Green.
