Single competitors and teams joined this year’s Agate Man/HlGaa k’aats’ii lihllnga triathlon, organized on Saturday, Aug. 19 by Haida Gwaii Rec.
Leading the top finishes were Noel “Agate Man” Bellis, who won the individual triathlon.
Winning the team event were the Triple-Spiked Stickle Backs: Leighann Rodger, Kim Goetzinger, and David Hill.
With a paddleboard, extra-seat bike, and a stroller in hand, Ben Davidson and his kids took home the award for Group Fun Relay.
Greeting all the hungry racers at the finish line this year was a burger café run by the Masset Volunteer Fire Department.
