The concept around the new PacWest Triathlon Championship Series is to creative a fun alternative to the current triathlon scene we see today. Not everyone is willing or able to put in the large amount of time needed to properly train for a half or full Ironman distance let alone afford the exploding costs of doing just one race. Our goal is to try to give athletes (beginner to veteran/elite) a new option. With that said, our series of races can perfectly compliment those athletes who are training for long distance events.

The PacWest new race series creates a new, and in our opinion, a more achievable endurance challenge that will allow athletes to balance a better work-life balance. First, we will only offer distances between Olympic, Sprint and Super Sprint. Second, we will offer a “Back to Back” race challenge in which athletes will be able to race both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Each race completed equates for a set number of points based on distance. In addition, bonus points will be earned based on how an athlete finishes within their respective age division. An ongoing leaderboard will be hosted here throughout the race season. Then at the conclusion of our final race of the season we will award our point series age group winners.
