USA Triathlon, the national governing body for triathlon and duathlon in the United States, and MountainQuest Adventures, a leading multi- sport event company, are excited to announce the second annual USA Triathlon National Winter Championship. The race will take place Feb. 9, 2002 at Snow Mountain Ranch in Winter Park, Colo., and will consist of a 10k run, 20k mountain bike, and 10k Nordic/skate ski.

Winter triathlon has been growing in popularity in Europe and elsewhere, and members of the International Olympic Committee have expressed an interest in adding winter triathlon to the 2006 Winter Olympics if the sport grows beyond its European core.

"It is hoped that this year's championship will be a springboard for growth and interest in the United States," said Steve Locke, executive director of USA Triathlon.

The International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Winter Triathlon Championships will be Feb. 19-24 in Brusson, Italy.

Last year's U.S. winter triathlon national titles went to former world mountain bike champion Ned Overend (Durango, Colo.) and professional mountain biker Gretchen Reeves (Boulder, Colo.). Other world- class athletes in the top three included Olympic triathlete Ryan Bolton (Boulder, Colo.), professional cyclist Kimberly Bruckner (Boulder, Colo.), and former world mountain bike and Eco-Challenge champion Mike Kloser (Vail, Colo.).

"These athletes and others use this race as great cross-training and motivation during the cold of winter," said Barry Siff, co-owner of MountainQuest, based in Fort Collins, Colo.
