The USA National Age-Group Championship

Burlington, Vermont

Join us in Vermont and test yourself against the best age-group triathletes in the USA, and against CEOs that have a passion for the sport over this stunning Olympic distance course (1.5km-swim, 40km-bike, 10km-run).

The CEO Challenge package includes 3 nights at the USA Triathlon host hotel, a fantastic CEO Welcome Reception & Dinner, Pre-race strategy lunch, VIP passes for you and a guest, full race support, and the opportunity to race against CEO triathletes on the CEO Challenges Team.

As a competitor in the CEO Challenge there is no need to travel to one of the Regional Championship or Special Qualifying Races to try and earn an invitation to the Age Group Nationals - we have reserved 10 entries to the National Championship just for CEOs. Plus, we have three (3) coveted slots for CEO Challenge competitors to the 2013 ITU World Championship in London, England!

Join us in beautiful Burlington, Vermont for the opportunity to race against the Country's best.
