MULTI-SPORT TEAM
Team Rising Sun
Team Rising Sun was created by Elmwood Fitness Center as a way to help support and promote the multi-sport lifestyle for those athletes that compete on a regular basis, as well as those new to endurance sports. Members of Team Rising Sun receive discounts on monthly membership to Elmwood Fitness Center and have the opportunity to earn further membership discounts by participating in events throughout the year.
As a member of Team Rising Sun, you receive a complimentary VO2 max test each year to help you prepare for your next big event. Team members also get a 20% discount on all camps and clinics put on by our two USA Triathlon Level II coaches, Ben Elder and Jeff Delaune. Custom uniforms are provided to each member in their choice of either a triathlon racing kit or running kit. Elmwood Fitness Center also provides members of Team Rising Sun with an online training log powered by Training Peaks.
Team Rising Sun's Junior team is intended for youth and junior athletes ranging in age from 12 to 19 years that are interested in learning more about the sport of triathlon. Our Junior team will focus on building the basic skill sets necessary to be competitive at any distance triathlon while maintaining a spirit of fun within a competitive and educational environment. Each member of Team Rising Sun's Junior team will have all the same benefits as our adult Team Rising Sun members, along with the added bonus of team workouts.
Team Rising Sun's membership dues are $150/year for each individual adult and applications are accepted in January and July. Junior Team Rising Sun members pay a monthly fee, which includes a practice schedule. These applications for the Junior team are accepted in May. Team Rising Sun applicants are pre-screened to determine health-readiness for training. Members are required to participate, in uniform, in at least five events per year.
