USA Triathlon is pleased to announce that the Redman Triathlon in Oklahoma City,
Okla. will serve as the site of the 2009 USA Triathlon Halfmax Long
Course and Club National Championships.
The Pumpkinman Triathlon will host the 2008 championship near Las
Vegas on Oct. 18. The 2010 championship venue will be announced next
season.
"This is an exciting event. Not only will we be able to crown our
Long Course Triathlon National Championships, but we will also be
crowning our Club National Champions," said USAT National Events
Director Jeff Dyrek. "Athletes of all experience levels will have the
opportunity to contribute to their club's scoring whether it be the
sprint, intermediate or long course distance event. Clubs will be able
to bring athletes of all experience levels to compete."
The Trisports.com Halfmax National Championship is entering its
fourth year and is supported by a network of qualifying events that
span the nation. Beginning in 2008, only athletes who qualify for the
Halfmax Championship will be eligible to compete for the coveted world
championship slots. Each year the championship attracts some of the
very best long course athletes from across the nation.
The Halfmax Long Course National Championship features a 1.2 mile
swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. The Club National Championship
features sprint and intermediate distances in addition to the long
course option.
The 2008 and 2009 Halfmax Championships will produce a minimum of 10
slots per age group for Team USA and the 2009 and 2010 Long Course
Triathlon World Championship.
"We are excited to be working with the Redman Triathlon group,"
Dyrek said. "With their good reputation and completion of USAT's Race
Director Certification course, we are confident that athletes will
experience a top-notch event."
