The Bedford Men’s Club was a sponsor with the Friends of Aine 2017 Kids Try-athlon, a Bedford event held Aug. 13 at the town pool and Bedford High School. The event is a swim, bike and run race for all kids age 4-15, no matter their athletic ability. It is an opportunity for kids to experience a race without the pressures of worrying if they can make the distances or not – designed so that everyone is triumphant!

“Words aren’t enough to thank the Men’s Club for your help last year and thank you so very much for your support again this year. The Bedford Men’s Club is vital to our success and we are grateful,” said Christine Phillips, Friends of Aine co-founder.
