Join Feisty for the first ever all-women's Kona
Are you a triathlon fan girl? Do you drop the names Lucy, Daniela, or Chelsea like they’re your training besties? Are you the person who is glued to the live feed on race day while wishing you could be standing at the finish line on the Big Island instead?
If so, this is the ultimate trip for you!
Join us in Kona for the historic women’s-only world championship race this October.
This isn’t your traditional training camp with three structured workouts a day, FTP tests, and grueling training runs. It’s a tri-cation. Yep, you’ll get to swim, bike, and run around the Big Island, but there’s also plenty of time to relax and soak up all of the energy of race week.
You’ll get exclusive time with some of our favorite Feisty pros, the inside scoop on what it’s like to prepare for the biggest race of the year, and the opportunity to be a part of the Feisty Media 2023 race coverage. Are you ready to become Feisty-famous??
A typical day in paradise:
- Plan to spend about half the day training with the group with some fun activities sprinkled in (did someone say acai and poke bowls?)
- Get plenty of time to relax or head out on your own local adventures
- Social time with the Feisty team (aka dinner with one of your favorite pros)
And of course we'll make time for:
- The iconic underpants run
- A coffee boat swim
- Fun in the expo
- Volunteering as a group on race day
- Cheering from our special tailgate spot on Ali’i Drive
- Post-event farewell brunch
- Live podcast recordings
- Time with some of our favorite pros
- Exclusive brand engagements
A fun, triathlon-ish camp that's pretty much a vacation
