The inaugural Island Triathlon Series™ (ITS) is coming to the Turks and Caicos Island of Providenciales on Saturday, December 1st, 2007.
ITS is the world’s newest and most anticipated triathlon and has gained a lot of media attention over the last few months. The event features an exclusive Island Eighty™ distance combining a 1 mile swim, 66 mile bike and 13 mile run, and will be broadcast in 85 countries world-wide including the US and Canada. To date ITS has attracted some of the world’s top pro-athletes including Chris Lieto, Chris McCormack, Lisa Bentley, Desiree Ficker, Rutger Beke, Chris Legh, Matt Reed and Marino Vanhoenacker. The Tri4Dignity™ fundraising program is an opportunity to participate in the race by raising dollars for a worthy cause and offsetting your travel costs. There is also a celebrity involvement - Chantal Kreviazuk will be singing the national anthem and at the post-race party; Trish Stratus - WWE 7X female champion and model and, Andy Baldwin – an accomplished triathlete who most recently appeared on ABC’s “The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman” will be participating in our celebrity relay in support of AIDS. Our race will expand to other Caribbean Islands over the next four years culminating with a World Championship in 2010.
