CajunMan Triathlon  - Helping those that need help:  

The CajunMan Triathlon is committed to help those that need help.  We have contributed in the past to the American Red Cross (after Sept. 11 and after Hurricane Katrina), local youth hockey, baseball and soccer teams, The Brain Tumor Society (provides resources for patients, family and friends) the With Arms Wide Open Foundation (dedicated to improving and providing healthy parent/child relationships), Lance Armstrong Foundation, National Multiple Sclerosis Society and various local runners and triathletes (particularly children).

 

ChampionChip Timing: 

We are pleased to announce that the ChampionChip technology will again be part of the CajunMan.  The ChampionChip (small plastic disk containing a miniature transponder) is attached to an ankle bracelet and worn by each participant. This technology assures state of the art timing and quick, accurate results for the CajunMan.   

Location of Race Site: 

The race will be held in Lafayette, Louisiana at beautiful and clean Airport Lake (home of the 1995 and 1997 NCAA Water Ski Champions – ULL Ragin’ Cajuns).  The race site is located off Hwy. 90 South (S.E. Evangeline Thruway) directly behind the Cypress Tree Inn, adjacent to the Lafayette Regional Airport.  

PLEASE PARK ALL VEHICLES IN THE DESIGNATED AREAS AT THE CYPRESS TREE INN (DAYS INN) AND WALK TO THE RACE SITE.  NO EXCEPTIONS!!
