Community Benefit

Each year, in appreciation for the support of the local Luray and Page County communities in hosting the event, the triathlon donates a portion of the race proceeds to benefit the local Luray and Shenandoah Valley communities.

This year, the United Way of Page County will once again be the primary beneficiary of the triathlons.  The United Way of Page County was selected because 100% of the funds raised by the local chapter go directly back into the community to benefit the non-profit community organizations that need it the most.  In addition, the United Way will be providing most of the volunteers for the triathlons.

Here's what the Luray Triathlons have gave back to the community in the past:

• The 2009 Triathlons donated more than $10,000 to the United Way of Page County with an additional $8,000 going to other community organizations including: Luray Downtown Initiative, Luray Volunteer Rescue, Shenandoah Volunteer Rescue Squad, Luray Christian Church, Luray Parks & Recreation Department, Luray Police Dept and the Page County Sheriff's Office. 
• The 2008 Triathlons donated more than $8,000 to community organizations in addition to a special $1,000 donation to help fund a new skate park for kids in Luray.
• The 2007 Triathlons raised more than $4,000 for Choices, Council on Domestic Violence for Page County, Inc. in addition to the above public service organizations.

Please consider making an extra donation at time of registration for the United Way of Page County to directly benefit the local community organizations that need the most support!
