Race Preview Clinics:

All of the races in our series have a preview clinic in the weeks leading up to the race. Each of these clinics is hosted by either a USAT certified coach or pro triathlete that has done the race before and is familiar with the course. Beginner triathletes and experienced athletes alike will benefit from this opportunity to preview the course with an experienced racer!

*All clinics are held at the race site from 7:30 AM-10:30 AM

  • Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon Preview: 6/16 Coach TBD
  • Tri-ing for Children's Preview: 7/14 Coach TBD

Series Scoring:

This series features series scoring and awards for age group and overall series winners! Here's how the scoring works:

At each race the overall winners (male and female) will be assigned 1,000 points. All other athletes points will be calculated by taking the winning time/your time*1,000.

For those non-math majors out there - here's an example: Will B Goodbiker wins Lake Mills with a time of 60 minutes on the nose. Will gets 1,000 points. Bob A Fastrunner comes in second with a time of 61 minutes on the nose. We would take (60 minutes/61 minutes)*1,000 = 983.6, so Bob gets 983.6 points. We'll tally those points up for 4 of the 6 races in the series, and the person with the most overall points wins. To help you track your points, we've contracted with Athlinks, a site that collects and tracks race results. Click on their logo on the left to check out their website, create a profile and check out your results today! If you've ever run a race, we bet you're in there!

We've been working hard to make sure that we've got some awesome awards for both the overall and division winners in our series! The overall series will have the same divisions as the individual races. They are:

Finally - you will be able to register for our series raffle presented by Trek at each event in the series. At the end of the series we'll hold a drawing and one lucky winner will get a Trek Speed Concept bike! To check out the bike being given away click here!

Individual Event Awards:

In addition to the series awards, we've gotten some awesome prizes for individual races to give out in addition to our medals and trophies. The overall winner for each of the 6 races will receive a Mt Borah bike jersey - unless they won a previous WI Tri Series race. If they have; the jersey will move on down the line. So if Will B Goodbiker wins Lake Mills and gets the Mt Borah jersey, then wins Triterium, the 2nd place male will receive the jersey. Additionally, Cycleops will provide a trainer to be raffled off at each race in the series!
