The UnitedHealthcare Sports and Fitness Expo is the nerve center for all pre- race activities

All triathletes competing in the 2008 Nation's Triathlon must come to the The UnitedHealthcare Sports and Fitness Expo to pickup race packets and attend the mandatory safety briefing. Race packets will be distributed here ONLY and not available on race day. Here you also find new and exciting merchandise, last minute race needs or race gear, some free food samples :-) as well as other triathlon products and services. If you have any recommendations for products, clothing or gear for triathlon you would like to see at our Fitness Expo let us know. We'll see if we can bring them on board.

In 2008 we anticipate launching our Fitness and Wellness seminar series. Topics will include holistic health, injury prevention, life wellness, nutrition, triathlon lifestyle balance, and other topics. If you would like a particular topic included or want to present in our series please email Charles Brodsky at cbrodsky@thenationstriathlon.com. 

The UnitedHealthcare Sports and Fitness Expo is located at the Renaissance Washington, DC Hotel. It can be found at 999 Ninth Street NW, Washington, DC 20001, Phone: (202)-898-9000

 

After you pick up your packet and attended your race briefing stop by the UnitedHealthcare booth and pick up a cool race belt to hold your race bib courtesy of UnitedHealthcare!
