Description
"The TriStar111 racing format is truly the most unique and exhilarating distance in the sport of Triathlon. It gives athletes an opportunity to mix long course endurance with short course intensity without destroying the body for future events. TriStar111 Minnesota is perfect for both the athlete looking for a challenge and the athlete looking for a tune up race that won't leave them recovering for weeks. I highly recommend making this race a priority on everyone's racing schedule."
2011 PRO Podium Winner, A.J. Baucco
Returning to the U.S. on Saturday, August 25, TriStar Minnesota offers individual and relay challenges in its signature TriStar111 distance. The 111 brings a unique challenge across a .1km swim, 100km bike and 10km run starting and ending in the spacious Weaver Lake Park. If you're not prepared to race the 111 individually, enjoy the race with 1-2 of your friends on a relay team!
TriStar, while new to the US., is a popular brand across Europe with races in prestigious destinations like Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Lyon, Madrid, Monaco and more. North America will soon see more TriStar events in addition to Minnesota.
Whats unique about TriStar?!
TriStar takes the world's fastest growing sport of triathlon and organizes it in the most fun and enjoyable way. TriStar's innovative 111 race format attracts amateurs looking for a new challenge and allows them to race side by side with top athletes including the PROs. Beginners are pleased with the possibility to join relay teams where they can focus on one of the three disciplines while professionals can use TriStar as preparation for long-distance races. Shorter swim and run distances enable shortened recovery times, giving athletes the possibility to participate in more races than before. More TriStar, more fun!
Consistent in every race are three core values of Star Events: fun, environmental protection and social responsibility.
Fun: Race TriStar and expect consistent, quality events focused on fun! Participants enjoy the perks of custom race SWAG (t-shirt, back pack and finisher medal), a post race meal worth note and drinks/food during the post race Star Night and awards celebration party.
Environmental Protection: TriStar events minimize their negative impact on the environment and positively influence behavior towards nature. In cooperation with the 4vita program, TriStar implements effective waste management systems and encourages athlete focus on the important of sustainability. The main message is straightforward: take care of nature as much as you care about your body.
Social Responsibility: With an ongoing cooperation with LIVESTRONG (Lance Armstrong Foundation), TriStar events generate fundraising dollars to support local cancer facilities in addition to establishing a platform for educating the public on their important initiatives.
