Tri Basics Clinic at The Trailhead

Planning for your first triathlon? Looking for a few tips to improve your race season this summer? This class is for you! YWCA Minneapolis Endurance Sports staff will go over what gear you need or don't need, clothing recommendations, what to expect on race day, how to make the swim less daunting, how the transition area works, race etiquette and rules and anything else on your mind!

Format: presentation, demonstration and panel of triathletes for Q&A.

If you are looking for a fun triathlon to get involved with, YWCA Women's Triathlon is a great event that takes place on Lake Nokomis on August 11, 2019. The event offers two race distances (Sprint and SuperSprint) and the option to participate as a relay, family team or buddy group. Friends, family and future triathletes are encouraged to volunteer and help make the event a unique experience for athletes.

The Loppet Foundation also offers an off-the-beaten-path triathlon, the Tri Loppet, that combines a paddle, trail run and mountain bike.

This event is organized by YWCA Minneapolis and the Loppet Foundation.
