Additional Information
Club History:
Organized in 1993, the Capital District Triathlon Club (CDTC) membership comprises approximately 150 men and women from the New York State Capital District, as well as some members from south and west of the Albany and upstate New York area. CDTC, now heading into its 18th season, continues to grow.
Our club, promotes a healthy life style, conducts a ten to twelve weeks of training every summer at Crystal Lake, Averill Park. The Tuesday night training series begins in June and continues until the last week of August. The club also conducts monthly meetings September through June in order to get together, catch up on what is going on, and talk about race results and schedule upcoming events. This information is also relayed to our members by way of a newsletter on our web page where we offer monthly training tips, product and equipment exchange as well as space for advertising by our corporate sponsors. We have a strong history of sponsor support from financial institutions, to engineering firms and sporting goods stores and our members have responded positively to our sponsors.
The goal of CDTC is the continued growth of triathlon, safety, and continued participation in and promotion of multi-sport activities in the Capital Region of upstate NY. High on CDTC's agenda is sponsorship of the Club and local multi-sport events. Over the past couple of years members of the club have participated in Ironman USA in Lake Placid, Ironman Florida in Panama City and Ironman New Zealand. Several members have qualified for and participated in the Ironman and XTERRA World Championships in Kona, Hawaii as well as the USTA World Championships in Cancun.
