We welcome all levels, from those who have never done a triathlon, to those who have competed for years. We want to make triathlons fun and accessible and to show that athletes at the collegiate level are capable of being competitive in the broader triathlon community. All it takes is the desire to improve and the willingness to train. Sprint distance triathlons in particular-typically 500 meters
of swimming, 13 miles of biking, and 5k of running-are easier to complete than many people think, and we encourage all full-time undergraduate and graduate students to come out for the BU team. We compete in the Northeast Collegiate Triathlon Conference (NECTC) amongst schools like Northeastern, MIT, Harvard, UMass, Harvard, and Army. Our races are a mix of sprint and olympic (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run) distances, and our conference season occurs in late summer and early fall. Furthermore, we consistently send a team to the USAT Collegiate National Championships each April. The Boston University Triathlon Team contains members ranging in experience from beginners to triathletes who have been competitively racing for years. We are continually growing as a team, and we welcome anyone who is interested in competitive racing, or just looking for a way to stay in shape!
