The 10th Annual Kerrville Triathlon Festival will be held this weekend, September 25-26, and will consist of 8 races, a sports exposition and a free Kids Fun Run. The event is being professionally organized by High Five Events, out of Austin, which has been working closely with the City of Kerrville, Kerr County and TxDOT.
