Seeking List of Races with elite/pro category & prize purse?

Triathlon Forum

Anyone have a list of USAT sanctioned Olympic distance races with an elite category AND that offer prize purse? (in the Western states, preferably, maybe some of the smaller races?)

So far I have:
St Anthony’s
Columbia
Memphis in May
Capital of Texas
Escape from Alcatraz
HyVee
Philadephia
Lifetime Fitness, Minneapolis
NYC
Boulder Peak & 5430
Chicago
LA
Toyota US Open Dallas

There should be some smaller ones, like these that did last year:
Scott Tinley’s Adventures, CA
Malibu, CA

Thanks all!

Rockman Tri in IL had prize money last year but I have no idea if it was USAT sanctioned. Chip?

edit: Sorry, Rockman is a HIM - I missed the request for Olympic.

I believe the Rattlesnake Tri in colorado, mid Aug has prize money for the pros

Sounds like someone is trying to earn a pro card and cherry pick the races too. I think that USAT wised up to that strategy a few years ago. Good luck though.

I wish I had the $ to travel around and pick the races :slight_smile: Just trying to see if there are any races close by, and see what races are out there.
