Finding triathlons in your area

I recently wrote a post on why I think you should try a sprint triathlon, and I've gotten some positive responses. However, the question I keep hearing is, "How do I find out about them?"

Truthfully, unless you're involved in the sport, you're probably totally unaware of these events taking place, even if they're occurring right in your own town. If you're interested in triathlon (sprint or otherwise), a great resource is the USA Triathlon event calendar. You can do an advanced search to find only triathlons (or duathlons, or an assortment of other endurance races) and get that search narrowed down to your state. You can then sort by date, event name, location, or event type to find exactly what you need.

When you find a race in your area, check the website right away. Discounts are often given for early registration or, if you're entering a race that's part of a series, you might get a discount for signing up for all races in the series.
