We are back!
The Conchman Committee is extremely excited to share that our 2022 race is officially open for registration!
After two (long) years of absence, we are hard at work preparing for the upcoming race! We have a few surprises and some new things coming this year and we cannot wait to share it with everyone. Make sure you follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter so you never miss an update!
The “Early-Bird” special is EXTRA special this year. Conchman usually offers a reduced price for anyone who registers early, and this year we have an additional special treat for those who will commit and register by May 7th. We have been really lucky to be able to collaborate with Celia Dubey, a USAT certified triathlon coach, 12-time USA National Champion, and 3-time World Champion medalist. If you register before May 7th, you will have access to a complementary 6-month coaching program (valued at $500) directly from Celia. So if you have always wanted to do a triathlon but didn’t really know how to start, this is your chance :) It is also a great way to maintain a steady training schedule between now and November, so don’t miss out on this opportunity and go register! You can register right here.
Introducing the Mini-Sprint distance. This year we are introducing a shorter distance triathlon designed for those who have always wanted to do a full triathlon but were intimidated by the long distances. We hope this will inspire more people in the community to get their first triathlon done! We also wanted to make sure that after two years, we could help people ease back into the sport and have a shorter option as they build up for next year’s full sprint distance. The super-sprint is almost half a sprint: 500m swim, 12km ride, 2.5k run and a lot of fun!
We are keeping our regular (and famous) Sprint race. The Conchman sprint triathlon has been our staple event for the past 36 years and it isn’t going anywhere! It includes 750m swim, 25km ride, and 5k run for those brave enough to complete the full distance, or (for those less brave… we won’t judge :p) get a team, decide who will swim, who will ride, who will run, and have fun! We will continue to offer various categories for relays, including:
All Female teams
All Males teams
Mixed teams
16 & Under teams
Family teams
175+ years combined
School competition
Corporate challenge – and yes, we are bringing back the corporate challenge cup!
And last, but certainly not least… Ironkids. We have not forgotten about the community’s favorite event, the Ironkids! We can’t wait to have kids ages 6 to 13 compete in the 200m swim, 2.5k bike, and 800m run event.
Some boring stuff. It can’t always be fun and games… sometimes we do have to talk about serious stuff, but hopefully it will be helpful!
Registration is live and you will see different pricing for students, and of course no fees for Ironkids. We will ask for proof that you are a student when you come pick up your race packet, so please in the spirit of good sportsmanship that Conchman strives to provide, respect the categories provided by the registration link
Helmets are still mandatory. We take participants safety very seriously and will require everyone to wear a helmet on race day - on that note… we want to encourage you to ALWAYS wear your helmet when you are riding your bike!
More surprises to come…We will be in touch with more news in the following weeks, so follow us and subscribe to the newsletter. In the meantime we look forward to seeing you all at the start line on November 5th 2022 at Taino Beach!
