What is The Kansas River Valley Triathlon Club (KRVTC)?
The Kansas River Valley Triathlon Club is very excited to be associated with Genesis Health Clubs in an effort to promote the multi-sport culture.  The Kansas River Valley Triathlon Club is a non-profit Kansas corporation who’s purpose is to provide an organized forum for training, knowledge-sharing, and competing in triathlons and other endurance sports, as well as to encourage general health and wellness of the people of South Central Kansas.  In addition, promote and provide fair and safe competitive multi-sport events for individuals of all ages and abilities.  The board of directors is charged with the responsibility of providing an environment that promotes social interaction between multi-sport athletes and cooperation between other sister clubs of “single” sport clubs in the area (i.e. swim, bike and running clubs).
Where does the name Kansas River Valley Tri Club come from?  If you follow the Arkansas River on a good Kansas map you will encompass; Great Bend, Dodge City, Salina, Hutchinson, Newton, Augusta, Andover, Wichita, Derby, Wellington, Winfield, and even Ark City to name a few.  This is a populous region for Kansas.  There are clubs from OKC and KC and we thought it would be great to represent our area of Kansas.
As members of KRVTC you will receive many benefits.  We are currently in negotiation with our merchant sponsors to provide us with discounts at their stores.  Our merchant sponsors include: First Gear, located at 111 N Mosley St, Wichita, 67202 - (316) 264-5500.  Heartland Bicycle, located at 111 N Mosley St, Wichita, 67202 (316) 682-4144.  Harley’s Bicycles located 629 North Main, Hutchinson Ks 67501 888-283-5846.  Our other advertising sponsors include Bracken Anesthesia Associates of Hutchinson Kansas.  The Hutchinson Clinic.  KAKE TV, Wichita Kansas.  In addition, as members you will be in a club recognized by the United States Triathlon Association and be eligible to compete at Club Championship events.  However, you will be required to register with the USAT on an individual basis. 
KRVTC is planning on having many exciting training opportunities when the weather warms up.  Including group rides, swims and brick training sessions where members with all skills from beginner to veteran can get together with other members from other training cells around South Central Kansas.  All of these group-training opportunities will be posted on our web site at www.KRVTC.com.  In addition to training, our hope is to organize group travel to local and regional events and compete proudly wearing KRVTC uniforms and gather before and after the events to celebrate our stories of pain, success and lessons learned. 
 
Once again thanks to our sponsors and to our current and future members for investing their time and a great deal of effort in our club.
