Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon

If you're looking for a great race with some serious bragging rights - WTT on June 29, 2013 is for you! This multi-loop format is great for racers and spectators alike, giving the crowd an ample opportunity to cheer for their athletes.

The venue for this event is Fireman's park in Verona, Wisconsin. Verona is just a few miles south of Madison. In 2002, Verona gained national prominence in the triathlon community during the Ironman Wisconsin event. The enthusiasm of the community for triathlon is unequaled and will make for an unforgettable experience.

Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon, like all WI Tri Series races offers the following amenities to its racers:

  • Technical Tees for each series event

  • Accurately measured race distances
  • Accurate chip-timed results provided by SMA timing
  • A safe course with a water safety team for the swim
  • Large highly-visible buoys
  • Well marked bike and run courses, with lots of volunteers on the course
  • A secure transition area
  • Professional bike SAG, provided by Trek in transition and on the course
  • Water pre-race in addition to post-race refreshments for racers
  • Clinics from pro triathletes and/or USAT certified coaches.
  • Series scoring and tracking provided by Athlinks
  • A wide variety of awards for age groupers throughout the series as well as great prizes for overall series age group winners!

An Event for All Levels:

Due to the looped format, both the sprint and Olympic distance races are designed to be beginner friendly, but challenging.  With a safe swim, well marked bike courses and the spectator packed run courses, beginners will enjoy this event.
 
For the more experienced triathlete, this course is a great race to test your limits. This moderately hilly bike and run course is a great place to show off your climbing skills, and for those athletes training for IM Wisconsin, a fantastic test of your ability to race hills similar to those found on the IM course.
