The Challenged Athletes Foundation® (CAF), a world-leader in helping individuals with physical challenges get involved in sports, welcomed more than 5,000 supporters, spectators and participants to La Jolla Cove for its 21thAnnual Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC).
The event featured close to 300 athletes with physical challenges from around the country at a celebration of sport, ability and life that is like no other in the world. Two hundred of those challenged athletes participated side-by-side with more than 500 able bodied athletes in the 1-mile swim, 44-mile bike and 10-mile run “challenge distance” triathlon, which raised $1.18 million in support of CAF’s unique mission.
