Introduction

September was an incredible month. We had a great turn out to run and shop at Fleet Feet and a beautiful morning for a swim and coffee at Twin Lakes. Thank you to everyone who participated and thanks to Karen Moser with Tri Lab Endrance who answered all our questions at the Lake. 

To the new members, and a reminder for our existing members, be sure to take advantage of all the perks you receive as an active HRTC member. Check out the Local Race Calendar for races in the Houston area. Race/Event discounts are available here - be sure to check the list before registering!

Board Member Elections

This year has gone by quickly! We will be hosting elections for the HRTC Board in November. If you are interested in joing the Club's board for 2027 please send email president@houstonracing.com and vicepresident@houstonracing.com or chat with any board member at an event. There will be at least two board positions available next year.

 Being a member of the board is an excellent opportunity to build management skills, or put them to good use; network with the triathlon community, not only members but also local race directors, other clubs, and coaches; and make a positive impact on the club and help shape the club's future. 

Board member positions are flexible and include: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, membership, sponsorship/at large, and at large. 

If you are interested in joining and want to hear more about the positions, please email
