days until Siouxperman 2010The Siouxperman Triathlon began as a dream conceived at a lunch table in a local Mexican restaurant during the summer of 2006; Community-lovers and spirited athletes dreamed of hosting an event that would involve the entire community, promote wellness, be fun and well organized, utilize excellent facilities, and serve athletes well.
The dream became a reality on May 5, 2007. The first annual Siouxperman Triathlon was a HUGE success! Nearly 250 athletes participated in the event held in Sioux Center. They were encouraged and directed by over 100 volunteers from the community as well as personnel from the local police department, EMTs, fire department, and the Sioux County Sheriff's Office. In 2008, the second Siouxperman Triathlon hosted over 300 participants and was again a huge success. And 2009 followed suit with another spectacular event!
A few improvements have been made to the event, but the original commitment remains: Community, wellness, excellence, and fun. Don't miss it! Be a part of the next Siouxperman - sign up, volunteer, donate, or cheer from your front porch. The Siouxperman Triathlon of Sioux Center, Iowa is indeed a super event!
The 2010 Siouxperman Triathlon will take place in Sioux Center, IA on Saturday, May 1, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. It consists of an INDOOR 300yd Swim, an OUTDOOR 25k Bike (helmets required), and an OUTDOOR 5k Run. The swim and transition area is held in the state-of-the-art All Seasons Center. You can compete as an individual or as a member of a relay team. All participants will receive a spectacular Siouxperman t-shirt and an official Siouxperman water bottle or sports towel. Participants and their families are also invited to the "best post-party ever"!
