You. Triathlon. Africa. Yes, You.

What is your role in blessing Africa through a triathlon?

The world’s largest triathlon—500 meters swimming, 22 kilometers biking, and five kilometers running—takes place on July 21st this summer in Hamburg, Germany. Thorsten Grahn of ERF International, TWR’s Partner in Germany, will be participating, and he wants everyone to get involved.
