Why Join MWX?
Midwest Xtreme Triathlon Club's purpose is to promote and encourage triathlon activities (typically associated with combined swimming, bicycling, running) for recreation, physical fitness, or as a competitive sport, through the education of the community on the benefits of physical fitness and amateur sport. We are affiliated with the USA Triathlon Organization. Throughout the year we have group training and coaching, host lecture and social events, assist with races, and encourage triathlons as a means of physical fitness and amateur sports - whether you are training for your 1st triathlon or 101st.
The MWX Triathlon Club was originally founded in 2007. Members age groups range from 18 to 86 years old, age-group & national champions, 2 or 3 member teams, or achieving a "one n done" triathlon goal - Sprint, Olympic, Half IronMan (70.3), and Ironman (140.6) distances. We currently have over 75 members from the surrounding Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas. We all have one thing in common - our love for multi-sport with a passion to share fun times and experiences with anyone who wants to join us!
2026 promises to be another great year and we welcome you to come be a part of this absolutely thrilling sport. You will meet some of the most motivating, enthusiastic and supportive people you’ve ever known!
