Welcome

 

I’ve been involved with triathlon and multisport racing going back to 1991. I’ve marveled over the years at the people I have come into contact with through the sport as an athlete, Race Director, and event volunteer.  

 

Michigan is truly a triathlon hotbed.  We are fortunate to have so many events at so many great venues.  And in 2008 we may find too many races on the same weekend to be able to do them all. My thought behind this site is simply to get as much accurate and useful information online about the events as possible.  When I started,  most of the race information had to be sought out through personal networking. There was no easily accessible single source for race information.  Even today, you will  probably find events listed here that you won’t find at the big national calendar sites.

 

Additionally, I wanted to get as complete a listing as possible compiled of the state’s clubs and teams to make it easier for you to make contact with multisport folks close to you.

 

Finally, if triathlon and multisport racing does something good for you, please consider volunteering to help out at least one event each year.

Good reliable volunteers are valuable. And scarce. Without volunteers, we would have no events. Please increase the volunteer talent pool this next year.
