Why Max Races?

Simply put, we know how to put on a great race!

Our focus is on a few great sites and a small mix of events.  We believe that focused athletes (and Race Directors) are successful ones.  Here are a few things we'll do to make sure our focus pays off for you:

Location is King

Our races are held in excellent locations – easy to access, in awesome communities, with well laid-out courses and transition areas.  The venue is guaranteed to impress friends, sponsors and you!  This is why we only hold a handful of races each year - these types of locations are hard to find!

Great Organization

  • People- we have an outstanding core team of people, who stay focused on their main role, making the race run extremely well.  There are dedicated individuals in charge of each of the key race elements – swim, bike, run, transition, traffic, awards, volunteers, food, aid and sponsors.  And, we've done races in over 23 states as a benchmark.
  • Gear – state of the art bike racks, great music and an excellent timing system increase race enjoyment.
  • Unisex swim waves - each swim wave is unisex and age group determined to increase comfort level, safety and fun.
  • The Athlete Packet – race preparation, race details, race day schedules, award details, logistics, etc. are covered in a robust AP.
  • Triathlete Advisory Panel - All Max races use an Advisory Panel of Triathletes who participated in the race to critique the course and the event!  This valuable feedback helps hone the event year after year - after all, it's your race!
  • Event Organizer Certified - Our race directors went through a 9-step certification program conducted by an independent company to test their bandwidth and hone their event-organization skills.

Food Fest

A small breakfast and a demanding race makes for a hungry triathlete. In response, we are providing complimentary post-race food for all triathletes. A typical menu will include salad, Italian bread, chicken, pasta, eggplant and sausage & peppers. Your race bib gains you free entry and spectators can pay a small fee to enjoy a great meal with you.

Numerous Awards and Sponsor Giveaways

It's fun to receive well-deserved accolades. So, awards go to numerous divisions, fastest times and many first time triathletes. Generous Sponsor gifts (e.g. a wetsuit at every race, Kinetic Bike Trainer, iPods, etc.) help finish the event on a fun note.

Awesome Goodie Bags & Local Sponsor Support

Max has fun providing great take-aways, other then the personal satisfaction of completing a great race. So, if there were some type of Oscars for goodie bags, we certainly would be on the nomination list!

Professional Sports Photographer

If you ever tried to take an action photo, you'll know why we hired a professional sports photographer! It's just one more way to make the sense of accomplishment last and to share the day with friends and family members.

Max-Out Race Series

Once you've done three or more of our races, you qualify for the Race Series Awards Program. There aren't enough things you can bank on in sports, but Max Performance races will be one of them.

Newbies Hotline

We're happy Dus and Tris are growing sports.  We want to welcome athletes giving the sport a try by making it easier and faster to answer questions.   Sharing knowledge and ‘stories' is a big part of the fun of endurance sports.  Just sign-up using the Contact Us form.

Charitable Donations by Max

We're all very fortunate to be able to participate in endurance sports.  We have the resources, time and health to be able to enjoy such a tough but rewarding activity.  Others aren't so fortunate.  So, we want to share some of the race proceeds with hand-picked charities to increase personal satisfaction in other ways.
