AT FLEET FEET VANCOUVER

Let’s Celebrate a New Chapter.

Fleet Feet Vancouver has new owners! At our upcoming Run the Vouve event, we're inviting our local community out to meet the new ownership team, connect with brands, and stick around for some light food and beverages afterwards. Let's come together to celebrate new beginnings and share the miles.

All paces and ages welcome.

RUN, WALK & WHEN ONE SPORT IS NOT ENOUGH, JUST DU IT!

Time to dust off the cobwebs and start the multi-sport racing season with the 42nd Annual Spring Classic Duathlon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K! It's time to see who stayed in shape all winter!

Choose the Duathlon or any of the 3 different running distances, and let's Spring into Action!

DUATHLON - 5K RUN / 12.91 MILE BIKE / 5K RUN

The Spring Classic Duathlon is a great opportunity for triathletes to shake off the winter-season rust and for the duathletes to get in an early-season race.

It will be a flat & fast course...perfect for those new to the sport of Duathlon and Triathlon! And for you veterans, this will be a fabulous opportunity to go all out and see who stayed in good condition this winter!

There are no railroad tracks on the bike route – just 12.91 miles of smooth pavement ideally suited for fast times. The course is virtually flat, and for the novice athlete, the sense of safety from not having to be overly concerned with vehicle traffic makes this event an ideal introduction to the world of multi-sport racing.

Spring Classic Half Marathon, 10K & 5K - This beautiful, flat and fast course along the pancake flats of the Vancouver Lake Regional Park is a wonderful event to set as a goal to keep your conditioning strong through the winter and spring cold and rainy seasons!

Our start/finish location at the Vancouver Lake Regional Park will allow us to relax and share our racing stories once we all finish! We will have high-energy music, fun vendors, food, and who is ordering the sunshine?!

Enough Hibernating! Wake up, Get out & Race at the Spring Classic!

#GetUpandGo

The Portland Triathlon Club presents an awesome opportunity to practice your triathlon skills in a non-competitive environment: The Annual Mock Triathlon.

PLUS! Join us for a ‘Mock the Mock’ event, which will include a course preview the morning of Sunday, May 3rd at Lake Vancouver. You are welcome to this free event for a self-paced or group course preview coupled with a ‘fix a flat’ workshop to cover basic bike maintenance and get us all set for the Mock Tri the following Saturday. Stay tuned for more details as we near the date.

This is an excellent training event - allowing you to see where you are in your triathlon fitness, as well as offering first-timers the opportunity to try the sport in a supportive environment.

This is a “mock” triathlon, not a formal competition with finisher medals and official timing. It is a learning race where all participants see demonstrations, attend clinics, and go through a Sprint or Olympic distance triathlon. Everyone has a chance to “tri" in a safe healthy atmosphere.

This is event is for participants 18 years of age and older. Current members are all welcome to participate! If you are not a current member of Portland Triathlon Club, you can purchase a day-of membership. Current members receive $10 off. We have TWO registration windows this year. We have "early bird" pricing from March 9 - May 2 and will increase the price for the week leading up to the event from May 3 - May 9.

After the event, stay and celebrate with the PTC at our BBQ.

There will be two distance options, which you will choose on event day. You can choose to try a sprint-like distance and an olympic-like distance.

The purpose of the day is for you to either try the sport, or to fine tune your skills before you summer races.

Approximate distances include:

Sprint - Swim 500 meters, Bike 10 miles, run 3 miles

Olympic - Swim 700 meters, Bike 20 miles, run 5 miles

Not comfortable with swimming? We will have swim support that includes kayaks, SUP's and swim angels (experienced swimmers that can swim beside you).

The course for bike and run are out and back, so you can choose the amount of laps you complete. The course is flat and fast.
