We are now 2 days into December and while you can still donate to the Men of Triathlon Movember effort, here is our closing feature with the top 17 fundraisers of this year's November.
The current amount of money raised by the Men of Triathlon team is $21,528 and that means 40th place in the country. The team was ranked as high a 28th in the middle of the month of November, but apparently some other teams had more energy at the end. 51 men helped out here, and we feature now the top 17 (with Seton Claggett on the outside corner looking in.)
