Triathletes,
As you know the Stoneman Sprint and Abe’s Olympic Triathlons will be
USAT Illinois State Championship events in 2022. Both events serve as
qualifiers for the USAT National Championship taking place in August in
Milwaukee.
Although not part of the USAT Illinois State Championship the Route 66
Half Distance Triathlon will be held on July 30 th with the other 2 events
giving you the chance to choose from a Sprint, Olympic or Half Distance
Triathlon on that day.
The other Big News in local triathlons is we at Tri Harder Promotions
will be working with MSE Racing and its owner Sally Drake this season.
We first met Sally when she opened Swim Bike Run in St. Louis and
have been friends and colleagues ever since. While we never had the
chance to race with Sally, she and I have been sharing knowledge and
helping each other grow our respectful Triathlon businesses for years.
Now for 2022 we will be working together and providing years of
Triathlon knowledge and race directing making the July 30 th date a
monumental day for local Triathlons.
Between Sally and myself we have competed in 24 Ironman distance
events and hundreds of all other Triathlon distances and are eager to
share our passion and experience to make your Triathlon the Best Tri
Experience we can offer in 2022.
Please welcome Sally and her team at MSE Racing and come be part of
an epic transformation for the Springfield Triathlons.
While we know being the Illinois State Championship will grow our
events, we also know teaming up with MSE Racing will grow all
distances offered on July 30 th 2022 and many years to come.
We will be sharing more developments between Tri Harder and MSE
racing as they become final in the next few months but in the interim
get registered for the distance you choose today using the links below.
It’s going to be an epic season for triathlon in both Illinois and Missouri
since MSE Racing’s St. Louis Triathlon is the Missouri State
Championship and thus National Qualifier for Milwaukee.
So come Tri with us and know you have 2 seasoned Race Directors
leading the events and imparting racing knowledge learned from
actually racing not just taking a RD test and playing Race Director.
Now the 3 distances are under one race name, Lake Springfield
Triathlon.
