Miami University Student Foundation Triathlon

Saturday, April 17, 2010 - 07:15 AM
Miami University Campus; Oxford, OH

THIS RACE IS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 650 PARTICIPANTS - Registration opens November 1, 2009.

The Miami University Student Foundation decided to upgrade the previous Bike Race to a sprint triathlon in 2006. Following the successes of our first two triathlons, MUSF is pleased to announce the date for this year's event. The 4th annual triathlon tests contestants in three areas of physical skill: swimming, biking, and running. Our organization has been working closely with HFP Racing to host one of the premier triathlons offered by a university. Join us on April 17, 2010 at 7:15 am for our 5th annual Triathlon on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The race features a distance short enough for that early-season race. Take on the course alone or team up with friends as a 3-person team. A sprint triathlon is perfect for your first triathlon or just another notch on your fuel belt. All proceeds benefit student scholarships at Miami University.
