Get ready for a TriStar Weekend

End of season celebration with special deals and announcements.

Through the upcoming weekend, TriStar is going to introduce several novelties, offer special deals and unveil the 2013 event calendar. This is to celebrate the end of the season with all 7,500 triathletes who raced the fun format of the triathlon in 2012.

With a focus on the successful and innovative TriStar111 format (1km swim, 100km bike and 10km run), TriStar Weekend is going to be held the upcoming weekend which includes the “TriStar date” 11.11. New race dates will be confirmed for the 2013 season and special deals will be offered to the TriStar fans worldwide.

Over 7,500 athletes participated in TriStar races this year, which is almost a double of 4,000 registered participants in 2011. To celebrate this fact, TriStar wants to share with the entire Triathlon community the new 2013 dates for the already confirmed events and show its strong commitement to offer high-quality fun events around its most succesful format, TriStar111, officially recognized by the ITU. “Our focus especially in 2013 will absolutely be on our 111 format since we believe that this is our strong leg and it is also appreciated very much by the athletes participating in these events. Nevertheless, our aim is to reinstall our long distance format, the TriStar222 again in a perfect destination and also keep attracting more and more new triathletes due to the shorteners TriStar33.3, TriStar55.5, StarKids… We also keep the focus on quality and innovation” said Georg Hochegger, Star Events CEO and Chairman.
