Episode 16: TriLatino Triathlon Club is helping minorities break barriers in three sports

Listening to Cesar Argueta Jr. and Michelle Mendoza of TriLatino Triathlon Club, you can't help but be just as passionate as they are in their efforts to create access to the triathlon disciplines. We know that financial barriers can limit access to sports, but TriLatino is unfazed at the prospect of helping their members excel at running, biking and swimming. Their Bronx, New York-based nonprofit was founded in 2009, and the mission to bring minorities into triathlons is stronger than never. The Covid pandemic has exposed the lack of resources in many communities, and at a time when mental health is finally grabbing headlines, the importance of physical activity for all is a life changer for individuals, families and communities.
