Bringing good people together by any means necessary....
but typically thru multisport
It’s easy to assume that Raise the Bar is in the triathlon business.... Actually, we’re in the business of trying to make our community a little better. There’s no doubt we could attempt to accomplish that in a lot of different ways....bug collecting, macrame, leaf-blowing..... But life and the powers at be have smiled down on us and have given us TRIATHLON.
RTB manages the largest, most-participatory Triathlon Team in the Pacific Northwest.
Our adult members are in their 20’s, 70’s, and everywhere in between. We are 65%
women, and 35% men. We have athletes that cross the finish line first, last, and
every place in between, and at RTB, EVERY athlete is given the same benefits. We
value each member for their hard work and participation, and their willingness to
represent RTB and our sponsors at the races.
In 2009, RTB opened a new team - RTB Runners - for the folks in our community who
have a passion for running. RTB Runners race in custom shirts and enjoy RTB and
sponsor discounts just like the members of our triathlon team. Many of our friends
belong to BOTH!
Along with managing the team, we also produce Triathlon Training. Coached workouts,
classes, and clinics can be found throughout the year on the RTB calendar. Our Summer
Training Programs at Lake Meridian and Seward Park are some of the best fun a triathlete
can have.
In the last few years, we’ve discovered the great FUN of producing Events. Our event
staff, led by Race Director Toby Mollett, produced the Friday Night Swim Races at
Lake Meridian, the XTERRA Black Diamond off-road triathlon (voted the #1 XTERRA in
the nation in 2009) and in 2010, the inaugural Lake Meridian Triathlon. RTB events
reflect hospitality, community, and fun.
