Clubs and Events

We are proud to be sponsoring and/or partnering with several clubs and races this year to expand low cost practice and race opportunities throughout the state.

Alachua County Youth Triathlon Club – The ACYTC was founded in March 2023 by veteran triathletes who share a passion for getting the next generation involved in the sport. Volunteer coaches have been in the sport for several years with many having competed at the Ironman or Ironman 70.3 World Championships. The ACYTC welcomes kids of all abilities and backgrounds. No experience is required to join – just a love of swimming, biking, and running (and not even all three) and a positive attitude. We are proud to have them as a partner in our Gearing Up Program.

The ACTYC has quarterly skills clinics. and host two events featured in our race calendar.
