Sign Up for the Tag the World Charity Triathlon With Celebrity Guests

On August 23, the beautiful shores of Waikiki will play host to the Tag the World Charity Triathlon. The triathlon will consist of a 700m swim, a 12 m bike, and a 5k run. The course is flat and fast, with views of the gorgeous Hawaii coastline throughout. The event is working in partnership with "It Takes an Ohana," and will be partnering each celebrity with a foster kid and also a triathlete. The event weekend will include: a Tag The World Charity red carpet luau presented by HILuxury Magazine 8/21, 7p at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, a press conference 8/22, 3p at the Halekulani hotel, and a full Sprint triathlon on 8/23, 8:00a. A celebrity list has already been confirmed. Online registration is available.

Hannah Cornett, the event's PR and Media/Events coordinator says, "Tag The World Charity is honored to be paired with the Hawaiian charity "It Takes an Ohana" to raise funds and awareness for foster youth through this triathlon. All proceeds from the event will go towards saving the ITAO organization which is being shut down due to loss of grants. We're hoping through this triathlon (which will include giving 30 of these foster youths a chance to compete on VIP teams), your participation, and celebrities we can save the charity and over 300 foster youth. Come compete, come enjoy a weekend filled with events, come race along side your favorite celebrities (currently, we have 15 high profile celebs from Laird Hamilton to Nick Lachey) all for a good cause. "Tag, you're it!" Now go make a difference!"
