Here are the TOP 10 REASONS why you should break the ice on March 27th!

9) The American Fork Fitness Center pool promises to be right on point as always - not too cold, not too hot

8) Almost everything was canceled last year... get out and have some fun!

7) First race up of the Utah Triathlon Championship Series. Get a race under your belt right off the bat and set yourself up for a great comeback season!




6) Almost everything was canceled last year... get out and have some fun!

5) Racing St. George 70.3 in May? Why not kick off the race cobwebs, make sure your bike's in working order, you remember which way your helmet goes on, etc, etc?

4) Almost everything was canceled last year... get out and have some fun!


3) The local tri scene needs your support!

2) Almost everything was canceled last year... get out and have some fun!

Salem State Champs - TOP 10 REASONS TO GO 4 IT


With a bit of a lull until the next big Utah tri (Jordanelle on Aug 10th), we thought we'd list our TOP 10 REASONS why you should join the fun at this year's State Champs race, RaceTri's Salem Spring on Sep 7th!

10) Classic venue, 17th straight running! If you've been a participant over years, just coming back will give you that gushy feeling of adrenaline mixed with butterflies.

9) It's cool when races have multiple distance options to choose from, but that said, it makes it tough to congregate together afterwards. Single distance, short-course races with open water swims are very rare, and will facilitate a fun post-race celebration.


8) #WITNESSTHEFITNESS: a late-season race you can test yourself at... let it rip and see what you've got!

 7) With the iconic bridge, 2 loop bike course, and a park as the venue, arguably the most spectator and family friendly race on the local calendar.

6) As we did when TriUtah's Brineman hosted the State Champs last year, there's a points bonus as part of the season rankings calculation for everyone who races Salem. It's not massive, but is definitely enough to move the needle if you're into that sort of thing.



5) Don't be intimidated by "State Champs"... sure, we hope there are some good battles and friendly competition, but this race is open to EVERYONE. Unlike an Ironman or 70.3, everyone will be done close enough together anyways!

4) Utah Tri Buzz is always working through our SWAG hit list... if you've been eluding us, come and collect!

 3) Great race and venue for beginners and veterans alike. Being only a Sprint distance race (no Olympic distance), there's always a competitive field, but at the same time the 800m swim in calm waters, ~12 mi bike and 5k run is a great event for beginners.




2) One of the coolest finishes around, up over the bridge you swam under earlier.

1) Aaron Shamy pre-race speech. Forever #1!


So hope to see you there, and bring a friend or three.  Not racing?? Volunteer! The more the merrier, RaceTri would surely love your support.
