The Firebird Tem Challenge is the race for HAUS TRI…

Teams are composed of three athletes. Each athlete will do a 250 meter swim, a 4 mile bike and a 1 mile run. To make it fair, divisions in the Firebird Team Triathlon Challenge are 3 Men, 3 Women, 2 Men/1 Woman and 1 Man/2 Women. With each athlete doing an entire mini-sprint triathlon, the Team Challenge format is exciting and a true test of speed, endurance and fitness. When each athlete finishes his or her leg of the team race, he or she will hand their chip to the next athlete at the swim start.

The Firebird Triathlon is uniquely able to host the Team Triathlon Challenge. With Firebird Lake to swim in, closed roads on the bike, and a run inside of Firebird International Raceway, we have the ideal course for this competition. No traffic and no swimming pool – just flat and fast racing.

email your HAUS TRIATHLON friends or stop by Bicycle Haus or Triple Sports and ask about signing up.

See ya there!
