Athletes of all fitness levels are being encouraged to swim, bike and run their way to the finish of the annual McMinnville City Triathlon. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 18 and is set to begin at Gilley Pool at 8 a.m. “One of the great things about our triathlon is it’s a community event,” said Paige Northcutt, one of the organizers. “We give back the money we earn and award two $1,000 scholarships.”
