More than 600 of the area’s most physically fit tested their prowess in Bridgeland recently during the community’s first triathlon. Sanctioned by USA Triathlon, the Bridgeland event made full use of Bridgeland’s natural resources, with a 482-meter swim in Lake Bridgeland, a 14-mile bike course on Fry Road and a 3.28-mile run throughout the master-planned community and along the Cypress Creek Nature Trail. Proceeds from the triathlon benefited a variety of local school and community organizations. Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation was the event’s title sponsor and presenting sponsor was ONURLEFT Sports. Official sponsors included Active Life Dentistry, Luke’s Locker, Bicycle World and Fitness, Finish Line Sports, H-E-B and Silver Eagle Distributors. Jamba Juice, The Memorial Athletic Club, Enlyten, Bullpen Pizza & Sports Bar, and Brooks Running were elite-level sponsors. The Bridgeland community will one day include more than 20,000 homes for 65,000 residents. More than 3,000 acres are devoted to waterways, lakes, trails, parks and open space. Sixty miles of trails will connect distinctive neighborhoods with amenities and a future Town Center. Residents already enjoy a busy community calendar, as well as a multifaceted recreation complex with swimming, tennis and a fitness center. Other amenity highlights include a disc golf course, complimentary use of non-motorized boats and other recreational equipment and the Cypress Creek Nature Trail, set along the historic Cypress Creek Corridor.
