Annual Memphis in May Tri

Same time....different location.

This year's Memphis in May Oly is May 22...nothing new. But what is new is the location. Tunica, MS will host the event this year rather than the traditional spot in Millington.

I talked to a couple of the race organizers and they said the accomodations were the primary reason for the switch. At the casino there are plenty of rooms right there on site making it much easier for everyone to stay and play! And if you wanted to race, well, you can do that too!

Registration for the race is open. Now through January 15th the fee is $105. Beginning Jan. 16 it goes up to $135.

Also, rooms at Tunica are just $89/night. Not bad. Throw a couple triathletes in the same room and you're talkin' $30 - $40/night.

Here's a link to the race website where you can check out all the info including the course maps. http://mimtri.racesonline.com/

  1. Have to get my shoulder some attention but I'm in if all goes well. This was my first tri and they usually have some really big names. This years purse is supposed to be big so they should show up again. Matt is planning on this one as well.
