The overall goal of the program is to introduce triathlon and other multisport disciplines – aquathlon, aquabike, duathlon, off road and winter triathlon – to kids ranging in age from 13 to 22 years. Within the program there are two two clear areas of focus: Multisport/Triathlon 101 and Youth, Junior & U23 High Performance.
The program will launch this summer in June and continue through to September 2024.
The PacWest Annual Membership is FREE to all athletes. The core program will offer coached group workouts each week to all youth members in the Greater Reno-Tahoe Area. Workouts will include outdoor group bike rides and runs. For workouts that incur additional costs like pool rentals, a nominal per workout fee will be required to help cover facility rental costs.
PacWest will additionally host it’s first youth development training camp, Friday and Saturday June 21-22, 2024. The camp venue will be staged from the beautiful Sparks Marina and include instructional clinics for swim, bike, run and transition as well as a fun “Splash & Dash” aquathlon on the final morning.

For athletes and parents looking for professionally structured programming, special discounted 1on1 coaching services (50% off adult rate) is offered and includes a host of benefits.

The Multisport/Triathlon 101 program is designed for the novice athlete who is at the early stages of learning how to swim, bike and run. The programming is non-competitive in nature and designed to be supportive and fun.
The summer programming with help teach the basics of each aspect of the sport and encourage athletes to participate in local and regional races ranging in distances from super sprint and sprint triathlons to aquathlon, aquabike and duathlons. This year’s target race will be the Pyramid Lake Sprint Triathlon on Saturday, July 20.
The PacWest Youth, Junior and U23 High Performance Program is designed to support young athletes who wish to seriously compete in both draft and non-draft legal racing.
Athletes will be encouraged to participate in the USA Triathlon Youth & Junior Triathlon Development Race Series in an attempt to qualify for the annual USA Triathlon Youth & Junior (Draft-legal) National Championships each year. We will also encourage participation in local and regional races to help build experience and confidence in one’s race abilities. Training together as a team truly makes the experience better too.
Please help support and grow the NEW PacWest Endurance Youth Development Program. Your generous contributions will help young people find a way to unlock their athletic and leadership potential through participation in multisport. All kids deserve a chance to participate in sports.
Unfortunately, many families do not have the resources or access to basic swimming, biking and running activities. Your donation will help PacWest Endurance reach more families and provide the funds to help secure the resources necessary to give them a fun and enriching experience. Resources include facilities rental (e.g. lap pool), equipment (e.g. bikes and bike trainers) and gear (e.g. watches, helmets, swim goggles, shoes and clothing).
Thank you again for your generosity!
