Northern California Tri Club Championships at Folsom International Triathlon
The Folsom International Triathlon on August 13th will be the meeting place to determine who is the fastest club in the Northern California/Nevada Area. Several local clubs have been battling for three seasons to accumulate points in the championship series of designated events. The series will culminate at the extremely popular Folsom International event, which drew a new-event all-time record of 1,200 participants in 2002. The Folsom International Course is flat and fast at the Olympic distances of 1.5k-40k-10k.
At stake in the series are bragging rights to being the "fastest club in the Bay," a custom apparel award offered by J&A Productions, known throughout the triathlon community for their lavish and innovative awards. J&A has also agreed to throw a beer and BBQ bash at the winning club's home turf for all club members. With club membership and team spirit at an all-time high, Folsom becomes THE race of the season for competitive age group club devotees throughout the Bay Area. As an item in the recent TRIbe club newsletter mentioned, "You simply MUST race at Folsom! It's for your club, your country and all of the marbles!"
