We’re all about putting on events in beautiful locations that attract great folks like you. We like to think that in the ego-driven sport of triathlon, we’re kind of set apart from the rest just by the nature of our friendly, approachable staff and our unique subculture of participants, who never fail to create a communal spirit at our events. Our pride is strongly tied to that sense of community created at each of our events.

Case in point: We’ve recently teamed up with REI to help bring you our 2003 triathlon series and our 2 nd annual Marin Adventure Race . We don’t enter these kinds of partnerships lightly. The last thing we want is a crowded expo chock-full of products that we don’t necessarily believe in and salespeople haggling you as you pass their booths. You may or may not have noticed the REI booth set up near the finishing line. One thing was for certain, Tim Cahill of El Dorado Hills certainly did. When Tim got a flat out on the course, he was sure that his raceday was over. He walked back to the transition area, knowing that he hadn’t brought an extra tube or gear to fix a flat. He stopped by the REI tent to see if they had any fixes for his flat – a last-chance shot at being able to finish his race. While the folks manning the booth didn’t have a tube for Tim, one of the REI reps ran over to his car, pulled a wheel of his own bike and gladly lent it to Tim, so he could finish his race. Now that’s the kind of spirit we like to have at our events! A great big thanks goes out to the anonymous REI rep who helped our pal Tim! And way to go, Tim, for sticking with it and finishing your race!
