The First Annual Bethany Beach First Responders Triathlon-Duathlon - BBVFC Headquarters

Sunday, September 23, 2012

The first Annual Bethany Beach First Responders Triathlon-Duathlon was held Sunday 9/23/12 in Bethany Beach Delaware. On Saturday 9/22/12 we hosted the registration and vendors event at fire headquarters. The apparatus bay was filled with vendors, and the east bay hosted a fundraising spaghetti dinner. In the early morning hours of Sunday 9/23/12 over 700 athletes participate in the Triathlon-Duathlon with hundreds more watching the events. Along with our mutual aide we provided EMS protection with Ambulances, Gators and a Bike Medic teams from Sussex County EMS. Our water rescue team and jest ski provided safety in the ocean for the swimmers and helped account for all that left the course early. Tower 70 provided a platform over Garfield Parkway for photography, and crews from Bethany and Frankford manned apparatus at headquarters. The event was considered by all to be a huge success and is expected to grow in years ahead.
