USA Triathlon today announced the start of the sixth annual National Triathlon Week Presented by Nix Biosensors, a nationwide initiative to celebrate the sport of triathlon and all its constituency groups. National Triathlon Week will take place today through Sunday, June 26. The social-media-based campaign brings together the multisport community not only to swim, bike, and run, but also to share experiences, inspiring stories, advice, and support.

The complete schedule, along with ideas for how to participate, is available on the official landing page for National Triathlon Week: usatriathlon.org/triweek. Throughout the week, athletes are encouraged to get involved and celebrate the sport by posting on social media with the hashtag #TriWeek and tagging @usatriathlon. The week’s activities promote sharing of stories and training tips by current multisport athletes — making it an ideal opportunity for prospective triathletes to learn more about the multisport lifestyle.

The emphasis of the week is on celebration, education, and participation in the multisport lifestyle. Each day of the week a different theme will be featured, showcasing all the individuals who make up the multisport community, including age group and elite athletes and elite paratriathletes, USA Triathlon Certified Coaches, race directors, clubs, and officials. Saturday, June 25 is Go for the Gold Day, presented by Toyota, USA Triathlon’s Exclusive Mobility & Automotive Partner and supporter of the 2022 Toyota U.S. Elite Paratriathlon National Team.

Daily prizes from USA Triathlon’s corporate partners including Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, ICON Meals, KT Tape, Newton Running, Nix Biosensors, Pilates For Sports, Science in Sport, TrainingPeaks and TriBike Transport will be offered on the @usatriathlon social media channels and fans are encouraged to engage with @usatriathlon social media channels using the hashtag #TriWeek.
