The 2011 FD Trisport Turkey Trot was a great success with 200 people and 10 dogs showing up to put in a 3 or 5 mile run or walk on Thanksgiving morning.  A car full of food donations was taken to the Salvation Army.   Pics posted on Fort Dodge Trisport's face book page.

2011 Emmetsburg Triathlon

Whitney Lloyd, Monica Shelly, David Luers, Heath Briggs, Melanie & David Fierke, Daina & Bobby Schwark

Wow, what a great representation of FD Trisport!!
June 25th was the Emmetsburg Sprint Triathlon.


This Wednesday, June 29th, FD Trisport is having a social ride/run!  Wear your Trisport gear to Snell/Crawford park at 5:30ish P.M. for a team picture session followed by an hour or so of social paced group run or ride and some hydration afterwards.  Hope to see you then! If you have ordered team gear it is in at Browns Shoe Fit.  If you haven't ordered any, stop in anyway, there are some extras available for purchase.

FD Trisport Members John Taets (left) & Brent Bunte (right) are taking on Tour of the Rockies.



If you ordered Fort Dodge Trisport cycling, tri or running gear, the order is on its way and should be at Brown's Shoe Fit this Friday afternoon.

Below are images of our New Balance technical shirt with logos sublimated (ink injected) in to the shirt so that it is breathable, not like a patch over the shirt.  Also, they sport the team colors and are easy to pick out in a crowd.  Pick yours up today at Brown's Shoe Fit.
