Two grueling triathlons will have competitors swimming, biking and rurnning - probably sweating and groaning, as well - at Bear Creek Mountain Resort near Macungie this weekend. The Bald Bear Triathlon will start at 7:30 a.m. Saturday. Participants will swim a quarter of a mile, bike 16.2 miles through Berks County and run 2.2 miles. Organizers say both the bike course and trail run feature some steep climbs.

Bear Creek hosts traithlons and other special events on its 330 acres throughout the year.
