Quassy Amusement Park is made up of twenty-plus acres and boasts over twenty-two rides.  The venue offers a challenging scenic race course for athletes and an amazing fun-filled, active day for family m embers and all spectators alike.

“Our immediate goal is to make triathlons a more interactive, enjoyable experience for spectators and family members by providing fun activities for children and family during the race.  We’re about change. Change for the age grouper, change for the professional athlete, and change for the spectators.”

~ Heather Gollnick
Director of Sponsorship/Marketing and Pro Liaison, REVOLUTION3 Triathlon

One way REVOLUTION3 Triathlon will change triathlon racing for the spectator is by teaming up with Trakkers, a GPS technology that tracks athletes in real-time.  Trakkers will change the way spectators participate in triathlon by providing real-time athlete information such as location, speed, heart rate, elevation and current pace.  All of this information will be available for spectators to view at the race via computers set up in the transition area.  “The sport has needed to integrate everybody into race day—and this will do it,” states Gollnick.

REVOLUTION3 Triathlon is also proud to announce our charitable partnership with ESPN’s Dick Vitale and the V Foundation.  ”I strongly endorse the efforts of Heather and Todd Gollnick and REVOLUTION3 Triathlon.  They are certainly champions in the biggest game of all, THE GAME OF LIFE.  They plan on playing a vital role in helping me with my dream of raising dollars to beat the dreaded disease we know as cancer.”
