SPRING & SUMMER 2024
Commissioner- Robert Leisner
Contact the Coaches at [email protected] with any questions.
Welcome to our 4th year as a triathlon team where we will build on our previous season strength of using the Frederick YMCA (1000 North Market Street) as our main practice facility, along with Heritage Farm Park for additional outdoor training.
Practices:
Indoor practices (Wednesdays 6:15pm-7:30pm) at the YMCA will include swimming & running on the indoor track.
Our outdoor practices (Mondays 6:00pm-7:30pm) will focus on biking & running, and team games when we do not have races scheduled.
Events: Each team member will be able to register for as many races as they would like to including 5k races, duathlons, and of course triathlons. *Registration for the events is an additional cost (typically $20 - $65 per event) and registration is performed by the parent of the team member.
VOLUNTEERS are needed and welcome, minimal experience required to ensure the team gets the best support!
