About Us
The Hero Hustle Sprint Triathlon was created to raise money to help support the individuals of the Delaware County police, fire, and ambulance departments. With budgets getting tighter every year and equipment getting more expensive, it is more important than ever for people to do their best to support their local communities. This is our way of giving back to the people that are always there to save, serve and protect us.
History
8 Years of Racing History
How We Got Started
In 2015, a group of individuals began talking about hosting a triathlon locally. Paired with the idea of raising funds for Delaware County fire, law enforcement, and ambulance departments, the Hero Hustle was born. The first race was hosted in 2016 with 146 participants.
Our First Race
In 2016 our first race was held raising $2,700 for local emergency service departments. The Hero Hustle Sprint Triathlon is known for it’s quality race with over 100 volunteers and hundreds more people cheering on the participants.
$51,200 Donated
To date, we have raised $51,200, which has been donated back to our Delaware County fire departments, law enforcement, and emergency medical services.
