VTS Pre Season Update
The 2009 triathlon season is here and it is the 5 year anniversary of the VTS ! Set Up Events made some great additions to the series this year with new events at Lake Anna and in Christiansburg.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
3/28 – Manassas Park Festival of Races – 5K, 10K, 10 Miler. Staged out of Signal Hill Park, this is a new Northern Virginia running event we are timing.
4/4 – Smithfield Sprint – Pool Swim Sprint – 10AM Start – 175 Slots Left. A flat, fast course and post race BBQ await all athletes. Black hooded sweatshirts for all those fast enough to place. Come out to the first event of the 2009 VTS and check your
legs.
4/18-19 – Rumpass in Bumpass – International & Sprint Triathlons- 10AM Start -50% Full
The first open water events of the year in a heated lake with clinics, live music and camping on site. It’s going to be a rocking good time! Plus, if you race both days, you’ll get a pair of free socks and be in the running for a free entry into the 2010 event! Register soon as both events have passed 50% capacity.
4/26 – Angels Race – Pool Swim Sprint – 30 Spots Left – Register ASAP!
A very cool urban pool swim event with a fast, challenging bike course and a run course
that goes through a tunnel! If you have never raced this event, you are missing out.
5/2 – Appalachian Power Smith Mountain Lake Triathlon – Almost 50% Full
Another great early season triathlon in the western part of our state, this event has super
fast bike and run courses. Both are out and back so you can always keep an eye on your
competition!
5/9-5/10 – Kinetic Race Weekend – Half & Sprint Events – Both Past 50%
Moved back 3 weeks for warmer weather, this event is as picture perfect as they come.
The half is athlete and spectator friendly with a multi-loop format and well stocked aid
stations. The sprint is a biker’s dream with a rolling 18 mile course followed by a
rolling 5K run course. The Half starts at 7AM but the Sprint starts at 9AM so you can
almost sleep in for this one!
5/31 – Reston Sprint Triathlon – Sold Out ! This pool swim event sold out in about 30 minutes this year. So, if you didn’t get in better luck next year.
