“The SheROX Philadelphia Triathlon is proud to return for a third year as one of the largest all-women’s races in the country,” said Barb McKeever, Race Director, SheROX Triathlon Series. “The popularity and success of this race inspired us to launch the SheROX Triathlon Series which is introducing thousands of women across the country to the sport of triathlon. SheROX Philly will sell out so make sure to register early and guarantee your spot for August!”
In its third year, SheROX Philadelphia will once again host professional triathletes, competitive amateurs and eager first-timers competing in a sprint distance triathlon which includes a .8K (.5 mile) swim, 25K (15.5 mile) bike, 5K (3.1 mile) run. SheROX Philadelphia is one of the only all-women’s races in the U.S. to offer a prize purse split between the elite and amateur fields. Last year’s event sold out with 1,500 women registered.
With successful events in Philadelphia, Tempe and Charlotte and the addition of Miami in 2009, the SheROX Triathlon Series is the one of the fastest growing triathlon series in the country. Additional stops for the 2009 series are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Produced by the organizers of the popular Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon -- a top-five ranked triathlon in the country -- the SheROX Triathlon Series is designed to ensure that every athlete will feel a sense of accomplishment and empowerment about their experience. Each race in the SheROX Series is sanctioned by USA Triathlon.
The signature element of the SheROX Triathlon Series is the SheROX Mentor and Training Program. The SheROX Mentor Program pairs race participants with experienced female triathletes who embrace sharing their passion for the multisport lifestyle.

The SheROX Mentors are available via e-mail and proactively send regular tips and suggestions to address individual needs and concerns. Additional programming includes a wide variety of pre-race group events and activities to further help the athlete prepare for the SheROX Experience.
Race weekend will feature the SheROX Philadelphia Health and Fitness Expo taking place on Saturday August 1. Athletes can also choose to participate in the event as a Relay Team, in the Buddy Wave or in the Club Challenge.
