Loyal Max Fans: Welcome to the Cowbell Club

We’ve had a fever to provide a great race atmosphere in one of the best athletic areas in the U.S. Your enthusiasm, ambition and attitude are contagious. Simply put, we need more cowbell. So, we’ve established the More Cowbell ClubTM to share in the enthusiasm, douse the fever and reward participating athletes handsomely.

Endurance sports give and receive. You give time and sacrifice and receive a feeling of satisfaction and improved health. In short, you make sacrifices to train and to compete and in the end, hopefully have fun, are in great shape and feel that your sacrifices away from your family, friends and job were worth it. The More Cowbell ClubTM strives to make those sacrifices a little more worth it.

You're able to participate in the 2011 Cowbell Club if you completed 3 or more Max races in 2010. OR, just complete the Cowbell Application and pay a nominal fee - Click Here to register. Participants in the Club receive certain perks and benefits (a.k.a. privileges) that non-Club members do not receive. It's just one more way to separate yourself from the competition and get a little more back from such a demanding sport. Here are the privileges you receive for being part of the Club:

Transition Area Front Rows

Club members want organization and speed. So, you're assigned one of the premo Transition Area spots for each Max race. No need to get up that much earlier then the other athletes to get a great spot and yes, this does reduce your T-times.

Guaranteed a Race Spot

You need to be confident to succeed at triathlons and we need to be confident to run them. We are. In fact, we know that Max races will reach the registration limit we've established. Club membership guarantees you a race spot, regardless of sell-out status.

Featured Athlete

We feel that every triathlete is elite. Each of you has a unique story that fellow athletes would like to hear. So, we feature stories of Club members in our monthly newsletter. You gain additional knowledge, camaraderie, and even some bragging rights to share with competitors, friends and family.

Discounted Race Fees Next Season

Another sign of loyalty to our great athletes: For racing 3 or more events with Max, you’re eligible to receive discounts to Max events!

Advisory Panel Rights

We want Max races to be your races. So, we use a panel of rotating triathletes to give us feedback, advice and ideas on a whole bunch of things. The panel members come from members of the Club. So, if you want your voice heard and would enjoy giving feedback, this is a great way.

Very Cool Cowbell - of course

One of our racers told us he was climbing an ugly hill in the last mile of his 1st Olympic distance event on a brutally hot day and was getting ready to walk. Then he heard a cowbell clanging in the distance and got one last bit of adrenalin - he didn't walk. That story gave us inspiration and the idea for the Club.

Love racing with Max, but didn’t qualify for the club? Club membership only costs a nominal fee to receive the perks described above. Just complete the Cowbell Application and pay a nominal fee - Click Here to Register. Since the Club is limited and it's first come, first serve, don't wait too long.
