For Immediate Release: Lake Waconia Triathlon Ownership Departure

After 24 years, the Lake Waconia Triathlon (LWT) will no longer be under the leadership of Race Founder Tom Konrardy, current Race Director Marvin Denzer, and other key individuals, namely Jean Konrardy, Jeff Schnobrich, Tracy Shupe, Michelle Cox, Eric Nordin and Shelly Denzer, who executed an exit strategy to ensure a complete ownership departure.

Much has changed over the years, but the essential philosophies held steadfast because of the scores of dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure a safe and successful race each and every year. Sincere appreciation is extended by LWT's founder and committee to everyone; the loyal and hard-working volunteers, sponsors like Gearwest, Ridgeview Medical Center, and Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative and others, race participants, the City of Waconia, and many surrounding communities....

Over the past 24 years, the Lake Waconia Triathlon attracted thousands of tri-athletes who completed the (1/2)-mile swim, 20-mile bike, and 4-mile run course. The committee extends great appreciation to each one of the tri-athletes who prevailed, sometimes during extreme or adverse conditions.

Since its inception, the Lake Waconia Triathlon was privileged to donate nearly $100,000 to local charities and organizations. Any interested groups or individuals are welcome and encouraged to contact Marvin Denzer (612.719.9816 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
