2018 Club Goal Races
Ready to pick your races for 2018? Every year the Club identifies Goal Races for members interested in training and racing together. Each Goal Race is a different distance, so triathletes of all abilities can be a part of a fun, welcoming, and supportive race environment. Goal Races are a great way to make new friends and meet other club members! At each race, we bring our club tent, food, drinks, Empowered Coffee (for local races) and extra of whatever you need - swim goggles, sunscreen, etc. For out of town races, we help members connect with each other to coordinate carpools, share airbnbs, and training groups in preparation of the race.
