The Capital City Challenge triathlon returned to Charleston Saturday for its eighth year. About 200 people were expected to participate in the event, which included a 4.2-mile run from Magic Island to Daniel Boone Park, a 4.2 mile row on the Kanawha River back to Magic Island and a 16.8-mile bike ride ending at Magic Island. Besides the triathlon, there was also a 13K race and a kids' boot camp led by trainers from the YMCA. Proceeds from the race benefit the Counseling Connection, a Charleston outpatient mental health services provider.
