Despite spots of only ankle-deep water in the river, more than 400 people participated in the Great Greenbrier River Race Saturday.

Of the 14-mile triathlon consisting of running, boating and biking, the boating section of the race left participants with a larger obstacle than usual.

"I don't remember any boating. I remember some carrying, but no boating," Ron Maddalena joked. "The start was pretty bad, but then it got better. There were always spots where you were rubbing and scraping [the bottom]. Everyone was doing it around 50 percent longer than they did before."

Although the boating was more difficult this year, Maddalena said that he would participate again.

Maddalena's teammate Sue Ann Heatherly, who did the running portion of the race, enjoys the format.

"It doesn't feel too much like a race," she said. "It's more relaxing than a more competitive race and it's for a good cause."

The team was rounded out by Ray Creager, fellow boater, and cyclist Mark Clark.

After the invigorating race, the participants gathered in the Marlinton Town Park for live entertainment and good eats.

All proceeds from the entrants is used by the Greenbrier River Trail Association to sponsor various projects and to improve and promote the trail.
