The ITU Level 1 Coaches Course in St Croix will be held with the support of the new ITU On-line Education Hub. This is the first time that the ITU delivers the recently introduced new system in America.

The course will precede the St Croix Ironman 70.3 triathlon and simultaneously held sprint distance triathlon taking place the following Sunday, May 3rd. Attendees are encouraged to stay and race and special discounted entry is available. As well, on May 1st, a special celebration street party will be held in Christiansted. Course work and activities will be held so that attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy race week activities such as scheduled pre-race open water swims.

If traveling with a bike please consult us before booking your flight to St Croix. Race week is hectic for the airlines and many small planes cannot accommodate multiple bike cases. A few airlines cannot ship bikes at all so a little research is highly recommended. There are a limited number of bikes available for rent and early reservation is strongly encouraged.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email: scott@vitf.org.
