ABOUT THE CLUB 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.   IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY TRIATHLON CLUB The Pocatello Triathlon Club is proud to support the ISU Triathlon Club. ISU students, faculty and staff are encouraged to be a part of this spectacular new Club Sport at ISU. Membership in the ISU Club is free to all students, faculty and staff, however only students can represent Idaho State University at the USAT Collegiate Nationals. ISU Club members are also welcome to participate in Pocatello TRI Club events and activities. ISU Triathlon Club members have additional opportunities to swim, bike (spin in the Winter) and run. In addition, ISU’s Department of Sport Science and PE also offers Triathlon Training classes each Fall and Spring (1 credit/PEAC). For more information on or to join the ISU Club, please contact Emily Klein at kleiemil@isu.edu or Caroline “Smitty” Faure, Club Advisor at faurcaro@isu.edu. MEMBERSHIP The Pocatello Triathlon Club has an annual membership fee of $20. Membership is valid through December 31 of the current year. New members can join the Tri Club anytime; membership renewals are $15 per year. In addition, we strongly recommend that you become a USAT member if you are not already. Becoming a USAT member can get you access to training tips and other resources, discounts on triathlon merchandise at selected stores and even discounts on race registrations around the country. Plus, your registration fee goes towards promoting the sport of triathlon (and more races!) around the country!

New members will also receive a team t-shirt and an “iTRI” window decal. Also, all members are treated to local discounts at Barries Ski & Sports. Because you're a Pocatello Tri Club member, Barries will give you 20% off anything you purchase at the store! We hope to add more commercial sponsors soon so membership will have even more privileges.    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!
