The clinic will cover all aspects of the Shawnee Mission Triathlon & Duathlon with a short open water swim session, riding the bike course, running the run course, and opportunities to work on transitions.

All participants need to bring their own tow buoy in order to participate in the open water swim portion of the clinic.

There are seven days in a week and “someday” isn’t one of them. Make the commitment to become a triathlete or duathlete today! The Shawnee Mission Triathlon & Duathlon takes athletes throughout the most visited park in the state that serves as a 1,250-acre urban refuge. Additionally, the course joins the Mill Creek Streamway Trail offering asphalt pathways snaking along the stream and through hillside forests. With five different events including relays, there is something for every athlete ranging in experience from first timer to the seasoned veteran.
