This year was the fifteenth anniversary of the popular multisport event, which has been cited as among the best in the world by Triathlete Magazine, Inside Triathlon Magazine, and Triathlon Business International, among others.
“Other events come and go, but the Musselman Triathlon has a loyal following that keeps coming back,” says race director Rich Clark. “A surprising number of athletes were first-time Musselman triathletes this year, and many of those told us they’d heard about the race from friends who had raced it before and talked it up. It’s that kind of word-of-mouth promotion that will keep this race going for years to come.”
