About Us – DC Triathlon Club
Overview
The DC Triathlon Club originated in 2000 as an email list serving a group of about 20 triathlon enthusiasts. The group sprouted legs in 2002 when it incorporated with USA Triathlon as the DC Triathlon Club and we haven’t looked back since.
Currently, we have around 500 paid members that participate in our social activities, training programs and races. Our New Triathlete Program is the Washington area’s flagship novice training program. We also offer Olympic Distance, Half-Iron and Ironman training programs throughout the year! There is something for all multi-sport athletes in this club!
