Fall is a time for changing leaves, sweaters, and fall produce, like apples! We are Buttercup Ranch & Creamery, and we are all about learning and teaching people to do things for themselves, especially natural, healthy eating.
For years we have gotten together with family and friends to play games, visit, and make homemade apple cider. Everyone brings apples, gets a turn cranking the cider press, and then out comes yummy cider. So in remembrance of this time-honored event, we call our triathlon, the CiderMan Sprint Triathlon.
Because our first CiderMan Sprint Triathlon was on the 20-year anniversary of 9-11, we held it in memory of John Ogonowski, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 that was hijacked and flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
20% of our proceeds benefit our local police and fire departments.
We offer lots of options! Sprint triathlon (individual or relay), swim or paddle (bring your own vessel…anything that can be propelled with a paddle), aquabike, duathlon, biathlon, or individual 5k run or 20k bike, even a fun run!
