The 2009 event was a tremendous success with fantastic weather, a calm and warm Gulf of Mexico and an after-race party that was over the top thanks to our great sponsor Carrabbas. Over 800 triathletes registered and 736 actually ran and finished the event led by our Champions, Olympic Team Member Brian Fleischmann and World Champion Amy Kloner. After the race was over and the sand had settled, we were able to contribute nearly $8000 to area causes. We expect an even larger field and an enhanced event this year. Check out our Press Section for some more stories about the 14th SRITRI.
Carrabbas will again provide their special food for the post-race party that you will not want to miss. The past two years Carrabbas has generously provided an outstanding meal that our triathletes and volunteers couldn’t stop complimenting. The party will also highlight sandwiches from Subway and other refreshments including Bud Light along with music, white sands and the Gulf of Mexico in the background. You won’t want to miss the fantastic celebration. Tickets will be available for family and friends.
Pensacola Beach is owned by Escambia County, Florida, and is under the direction of the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA). They are the governing body on the Island and are an essential component in assuring that we have well organized, safe race. In addition to safety they provide funding as a Sponsor of the event.
The Subway, in Gulf Breeze, has sponsored the Santa Rosa Island Triathlon for ten years out of our fourteen year history. We sure enjoy their great contribution to feeding the athletes. Please visit them often for healthy sandwiches and salads.
