Triathlon may be considered an individual sport on race day; however, getting to the start line doesn’t have to be a solo effort. We feel that joining a local triathlon club provides a number of benefits. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned athlete, you can find a group that is right for you and your racing goals. In addition to group training opportunities, the fun and camaraderie is priceless. You will create memories and form friendships by sharing your passions with other like-minded people.  It’s for these reasons, and so many more that we focus on working with triathlon clubs to bring athletes from all over the world to the Wildflower Experience.

At Wildflower we feel triathlon teams and clubs create the sense of community that Wildflower is all about. Wildflower is proud to have produced the first ever Triathlon Club Competition in the early 90’s and we still have that competition as our foundation of Wildflower.  In addition, we host the Wildflower Collegiate Championships for colleges, from all over the country, to come together for a competition and to be seen by all!

We have lot of new exciting stuff we are announcing this year which is why it’s not just a triathlon, it’s now a complete Wildflower Experience! Connect with us on Facebook and Instagram.
