About Us:

History:
Founded in September 1998, the Silicon Valley Triathlon Club has grown to be the largest triathlon club in Northern California. We have put together a timeline of our club history as how it came to be and where it has gone since then. Enjoying an active, healthy, and fun lifestyle, SVTC is dedicated to promoting the sport and broadening its appeal to male and female triathletes alike, including all abilities and ages. The Silicon Valley Triathlon Club was established to support all levels of triathletes and runners in the Bay Area. We offer weekly track practices, bike rides and open water swims throughout the year. During the season, the club offers access to multi-sport clinics for athletes of all levels. We negotiate new discounts every year with our growing list of sponsors.

Elected Leaders:
The Silicon Valley Triathlon Club is a Not-For-Profit, Volunteer, Community-based Organization. The elected Board of Directors, appointed Committee Chairs, and Members-At-Large, all enthusiastically volunteer their time and talents to benefit the Club, our members, the Sport, and the Community. No one is paid a salary; each of us gives willingly our time and energies for the benefit of everyone. It means everything to us to give back to our Sport, and our Community. These Board of Directors Officers are elected by the members. Elections will occur annually at our July meeting. Anyone who is a member in good standing as of the time of the election may run for office and vote.

The Silicon Valley Triathlon Club holds monthly meetings on the second Monday of every month (unless otherwise announced in advance). They are held at Sports Basement, 1177 Kern Ave., Sunnyvale (Lawrence Expressway off of 101), 7:00pm (dinner 6:15pm). All are welcome to attend.
