The triathlon, an adaptive race sponsored by Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, took place at Gaylord Opryland Resort. The race pairs a child with a disability (ages 5-18) with a peer buddy to complete the race together as a team. The event attracted about 135 participants and raised nearly $55,000 to support adaptive fitness programs through Vanderbilt Adaptive Sports.
