Editor's note: The March 2007 issue of RTN inadventently listed the date of the CB&I Triathlon as May 6. The correct date is May 6.

In its fourth year as one of the premier multi-sport events in the region, CB&I Tri - The Woodlands offers high-caliber competition, first-rate race management and a scenic course.

This year CB&I Tri - The Woodlands has been named the USAT SMW State Championship Race. The 2007 race will feature a field of 850 participants, which is an increase from last year's 650. Last year's participants ranged from beginners to nationally ranked tri-athletes. The 2006 event sold out a month before the race date with over 100 hopefuls trying to get in after registration closed. Although participation is expanded, it is still expected to sell out earlier this time around.

Participants are drawn to the event because of its reputation, wonderful volunteers and ideal location with a picturesque race route that takes you around The Woodlands community through the innovative Market Street, Town Center, the Waterway and the wooded neighborhoods past cheering spectators. These things earned the event a ranking as one of the "Top 10 in the USAT South Midwest Region for sprint distance triathlons" in 2004. The event culminates with a festive awards party featuring music, great food, beverages and cool door prizes.
