YWCA Indoor Triathlons
Brave the event not the elements!
The YWCA's Indoor Triathlons are a great way to stay focused during the cold Minnesota winters. If this is your first triathlon, you will find a supportive, encouraging environment. For more seasoned athletes, these indoor events are a great addition to your training regimen. Complete the event yourself or as part of a 2 or 3-person relay!
