NEW TO RIPROAR? YOUR FIRST RIPROAR TRIATHLON IS FREE!
As we approach our 10th season, we are excited to announce our largest initiative to date: a program that offers free race entry to all first-time athletes.
More information below.
Try your first tri for free on August 19th at Terra Lake Park in Johnston. Click here to register.
Over the past decade, RipRoar has worked to remove barriers and foster the growth in our sport. We offer educational programing for parents and training opportunities for kids, and provide essential equipment like bikes to enable athletes to participate in races.
IT STARTS WITH EDUCATION
However, one idea that has remained unattainable is eliminating the race cost entirely. While not feasible or necessary for every athlete, we strongly believe that getting athletes to the starting line of their first triathlon is often most significant challenge. As we approach our 10th season, we are excited to announce our largest initiative to date. It is our belief that this program can double our first time participation from 200 athletes in 2023, to 400 in 2024.
IT CONTINUES WITH OPPORTUNITY
We are excited to announce our plan to launch a pilot version of this program specifically for the RipRoar Championship’s in Johnston on August 19th, 2023. To achieve this goal, RipRoar & VanWeelden Co. have partnered to cover 50% of these entry fees. To complete this initiative, we are seeking individual contributions to cover the remaining 50% of the entry fee for up to 100 athletes.
Your support will be instrumental in making this program a reality and providing aspiring athletes with the opportunity to participate in the sport we love.
