Background
Founded in the fall of 2013 by Kendall Farnham ('14), Nicolina Mascia ('15), and Sara Heard ('15), we are a student-run club team and welcome all members of the Dartmouth community—though we are predominantly made up of undergraduate students.
We train year-round, typically with two to three practices for each discipline of the triathlon and one strength training session per week. The sprint distance is our team's primary focus, though we also compete in Olympic distance events, half Ironmans (70.3), duathlons, and relays.
Our athletes have gone on to compete in Ironman races and the ITU World Triathlon Series. Nonetheless, we value team spirit and go out of our way to welcome people of all ability levels and financial statuses.
Mission Statement
