Waseca in Back!

KEVIN-WASECA.gifWaseca Triathlon is back and better than ever with new courses and discounted pricing for youth participants!

From Final Stretch

We are thrilled to say that the community of Waseca came together to make this triathlon possible in 2016. We strive to breathe new life into this fantastic triathlon and build on the astounding engagement we have seen from Waseca so far. First and foremost our goal is to be as inclusive as possible and make this a community and family oriented event. 

To do this we have eliminated the 1/3 Iron Man Course and added a Super Sprint Course. This course has been carefully created with new triathletes in mind, including a 200 yd swim, 6mi bike, and 2mi run. We also hope to get the youth of Waseca involved as well, so in addition to the new shorter course, we are also offering a youth discount that grants reduced pricing for all participants under the age of 19 that register for the Super Sprint or Sprint Course. The Sprint Course will be a little longer than in the past with a 1/3rd mile swim, 16 mile bike and a 4.2 mile run. As always, we will have our Kids Tri for youth ages 5 – 12....

 

We’ve heard from several triathletes thrilled to see that the Waseca Triathlon will continue in 2016. Kevin O’Connor, Owner of Gear West Bike, has nothing but good things to say about Waseca. He told us, “Waseca Triathlon is the perfect event to showcase one of Minnesota’s best small towns.  The venue, Clear Lake Park, is one of the city’s many fantastic parks. With its large grassy area filled with old oak trees, spacious sandy beach, and clear swim area, it makes for a perfect triathlon space. It's tough to say what aspect of the race I enjoy the most, the spacious transition area, the smooth roads for cycling, the scenic run that hugs beautiful Clear Lake, or the incredible local support and volunteers. In addition to all of that, for post-race you get to spend time in downtown Waseca and see first-hand what makes this town so vibrant: dozens of historic homes, unique local restaurants, golf courses, Waseca Water Park, fishing, and so much more.  I cannot imagine leaving this race without having a great experience."
