Our Mission: Exceeding Expectations, a program in the San Bernardino School District which serves an inner-city population, is designed to encourage at-risk kids to move their lives in a positive direction, using the sport of triathlon as the vehicle. The goal is not to develop the kids into elite athletes, but rather to offer them opportunities to participate in a lifestyle that is healthy, goal-oriented and very unlike that which they experience in their everyday lives. We strive to replace negative influences with positive role models and to instill in the kids a powerful new discipline of setting measurable goals and working hard to achieve them. Quick
intro to the EE program |
Our
annual
"Race for the Race"
to
see which kids get to go to the
Challenged Athlete Foundation Triathlon
was
held on Sunday, August 31.
Check out the action and the winners here.
