Boasting its fourth annual event at the historic Homestead-Miami Speedway, CLASH Endurance is thrilled to welcome nearly 2,000 athletes to test their fitness at one of the numerous events taking place March 28-30. Whether it is a one-mile swim, duathlon, triathlon or aquabike, athletes of all abilities will participate in a family friendly and competitive, festival-style weekend. CLASH Endurance is also pleased to garner support from a variety of well-known partners including Foundation Risk Partners, Ameriprise Financial, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Florida Sports Foundation and Kroger.
Andre Lapar, Chief Operations Officer for CLASH Endurance comments, “We are excited to return to Miami and host this unique mix of races at the speedway. USA Triathlon Collegiate Club Nationals, the only World Triathlon Continental Cup-level event in America this year and numerous age group events truly showcase the CLASH Endurance mission of innovation and inclusivity.”
Athletes in America’s Triathlon Cup Miami will compete in a draft-legal sprint-distance triathlon comprised of a 750m swim, a 20km bike and 5km run entirely contained within the Homestead-Miami Speedway. All competitors are chasing valuable ranking points to determine their eligibility to enter the World Triathlon Championship Series events, World Triathlon Cup events and World Triathlon Continental Championship events. Several Olympians will be lined up at the start line such as: Gwen Jorgensen who was the first ever U.S. triathlete to take home gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics; 2020 Tokyo Olympian, Summer Rappaport; three-time gold medalist in swimming, Brooke Bennett and 2024 Paris Silver Medalist in the mixed triathlon relay, Seth Rider.
Approximately 1,000 students will take on the USAT Collegiate Club National Championship that utilizes a draft-legal format in the distances of sprint triathlon, a super sprint mixed-relay triathlon as well as a non-drafting Olympic distance triathlon. Multiple award categories and team scoring will be available across the races demonstrating the intense rivalry among some of the most prestigious colleges and largest university teams from around the United States including Yale, NC State, UF, Duke, West Point and Virginia Tech. With these races seeing some of the fastest young athletes going head-to-head, fans will have an ideal spectating opportunity.
Age-group athletes have the option of sprint triathlon and duathlon, the Miami-distance triathlon & aquabike races and a 1-mile Swim. For many, this serves as an ideal early-season training test alongside other like-minded athletes. For avid cyclists, Redline Relay is a competitive road bike relay event hosted 100% on the Homestead-Miami Speedway for groups of three to eight riders. Each team is assigned a famed ‘pit stall’ along pit road and they are used for quick, choreographed pit stop-style exchanges among teammates. A $3K prize purse will be offered to the team that completes the most laps!
Athletes and spectators alike can experience the Expo Village sponsored by Foundation Risk Partners, from Thursday to Sunday featuring apparel and wellness vendors, food trucks and much more. Kroger’s state-of-the-art mobile tour called ‘Team Tune Up’ will be on site with benefits Kroger shoppers see from their pharmacy such as health screenings and advice about nutrition. Ameriprise Financial, this year’s official transition partner, will be sharing financial insight to expo attendees in addition to hosting a cocktail hour Friday evening at the speedway.
