You asked for it and you got it in a neat package: a more focused group that is dedicated to training, racing and giving back to the triathlon community.

Race Team membership is open to all committed triathletes who have a race focus in the coming year and have at least a year of racing under their belt. Sign-up is from September – November. There is an annual fee of $275. Training groups will be focused largely on the half and full iron distances. However, you don’t have to do a specific race distance, race or meet any time goals, we just ask that you are committed to racing and volunteer a few hours for our local triathlon community. When you race, we ask that you sport the gear as a “thank you” to our sponsors. Members and non-members are welcome to join the workouts, which will be the normal Portland Triathlon Club workout times & locations.

Race Team Membership Includes:

• Full tri kit including a custom Portland Triathlon Club Louis Garneau cycling and triathlon top, shorts, long sleeve tech shirt, hat and some other goodies to be announced later when we have our final sponsorship numbers (bulk of the $ goes toward the gear).
• Coached clinics
• In addition, each Race Team member will receive a generalized half-iron or iron distance training plan as most of our athletes have one as their “A” race.
• Additional discounts from our sponsors.
• A weekly email from the Team Director outlining a detailed workout schedule, upcoming races or gatherings and Team results.
• A great group to train with all year round!
