DC TRIATHLON CLUB ELITE TEAM
Every triathlete’s journey begins somewhere. That first swim.
That first bike ride. That first run.
Some people look at triathlon as something to cross off a bucket list. For others, triathlon becomes a journey that progresses through sprint, Olympic, Half Iron, and full Iron distance triathlons. Whether a triathlete’s goal is just to finish, to go further, to stay fit, all noble pursuits are they.
Welcome to the DC Triathlon Club’s informational page about the DC Triathlon Club Elite Team Program (ETP). The club strives to provide opportunities for athletes of all abilities by offering a suite of training programs that encompasses every aspect of progression through the sport of triathlon.
The mission of the ETP is to give the fastest triathletes in the DC Metropolitan area the opportunity to train and race together as a team. By doing so, we provide these athletes with the support structure and resources necessary to race at the highest levels of competition.
Leading by example, these athletes foster competitive drive throughout the club and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
The application for the 2025 Elite Team is now open!
