The Pocatello Triathlon Club was formed in 2008 after a group of enthusiastic local triathletes got together with the desire to start a local club where people of all athletic abilities could find camaraderie and people with whom they could run, bike and swim. We are a diverse group of individuals from the Pocatello-Chubbuck area who share a common interest in multi-sport activities. The club is open to all those interested, with first time triathletes especially welcome. We also welcome duathletes and other multi-sporters. Our members range from beginners to seasoned veterans.

The mission of the Pocatello Triathlon Club is to promote the educational pursuit of triathlon, general physical fitness, and the representation of the sport of triathlon within the community of Eastern Idaho. The club is committed to strengthening and advancing the sport of triathlon. We hope to further our mission by hosting group training activities, clinics, races and other social events.

As our club grows, we also hope to sponsor various race activities in the Pocatello area and even lend some financial support to some of you out there who plan to attend big races around the country. We'll also plan several social activities so that members can get together and workout or simply share triathlon horror stories!

Cost is approximately $45 for race jersey and $45 for triathlon race shorts (have bike pad).
