Are you the owner or employee of a running, bike or multisport shop that is looking to reach triathletes and other multisport athletes?
The growth of triathlon and multisport has seen unprecedented growth across the country in recent years. Membership in USA Triathlon now exceeds 100,000, while it is estimated that more than 690,000 participate in multisport events each year.
Did you know that the USA Triathlon members have a family income of $100,000 and that in 2006 triathletes across the U.S. spent a total of $4.5 billion on triathlon-related expenses?
You can take advantage of this booming interest by becoming a USA Triathlon Certified Multisport Shop.
