Smiley Triathlon Festival Weekend on Triad Today
On Saturday, July 20th, attorneys David Daggett and Griff Shuler appeared on Triad Today with the Mayor of Clemmons, NC, Mike Rogers, to talk about the upcoming Smiley Triathlon Festival.
The Smiley Triathlon Festival encompasses a weekend of healthy fun for all ages with the Kids for Kids Triathlon for young people aged 7-15 on Saturday, July 27th and the Smiley Sprint Triathlon for adults on Sunday, July 28th in the beautiful Clemmons West neighborhood. The weekend is named after Attorney David Daggett’s close friend Richard Smiley, a local fitness leader and triathlete who passed in 2016 due to brain cancer. Seeing that there were no triathlons taking place in the Triad area, David (an avid triathlete and multiple-time Ironman) created the Smiley Triathlon Festival to meet this need and honor his good friend.
Recently, Mayor Rogers read a proclamation at a council meeting declaring July 27th and 28th Smiley Triathlon Festival Weekend in Clemmons. This is a great honor for the festival, and the entire proclamation can be read here.
