The 2018 AUA RohrMan Triathlon
Hosted by: American University of Antigua
About The 2018 AUA RohrMan Triathlon
The American University of Antigua (AUA) College of Medicine presents the AUA RohrMan. The AUA RohrMan is dedicated to the memory of AUA student Jonathan Rohr who co-founded the non-profit event in 2011. Sadly, Johnathan was diagnosed with a rare heart disease and died quietly in his sleep before the inaugural edition of the Triathlon took place, but his legacy lives on in the annual AUA RohrMan which is organized and sponsored by AUA.
This year the 6th annual event takes place at beautiful Ffryes Beach on Saturday February 17th commencing at 6am and is scheduled to conclude at 5pm with an award ceremony.
