Team Mermaid training group
If you're looking for tips and help with training come out to a Team Mermaid workout and see why Team Mermaids are happy mermaids. Coach Heidi will provide the inspiration and motivation to keep you working out and accomplishing your fitness goals.

Train with LUNA Sport Moons
Looking for the right nutrition to train with for the big day? LUNA heard it from team LUNA Chix members, the LUNA Pro Mountain Bike and Triathlon teams, and from YOU: when it comes to training and racing, women have nutritional needs all their own. That’s why LUNA created LUNA Sport, a line of products that are specifically designed to provide just the right amount of calories, antioxidants, electrolytes and other ingredients us women athletes need. Try LUNA Sport Moons energy chews, Electrolyte Splash and Recovery Smoothie while training for the Mermaid Run. You can find them at specialty retailers near you, or visit www.lunabar.com/sport.

Fall in Love with Running...
So many times I hear "I am NOT a runner" or "I only walk...so I will never run" I even had a woman tell me "I am not a runner" WHILE she was running! You are a runner and you can be whatever you want to be! Find your pace, find your HAPPY pace. <more>

Volunteers
We are looking for race day volunteers. If you have family or friends who are interested in helping out at the event please email: info@mermaidtriathlon.com

Jenny's Light 5K Charity Run
Come out for the Innaugural Jenny's Light 5K Charity Run on Sunday, March 1st at Vasona Park in Los Gatos, CA. Jenny's Light was founded by local Professional Triathlete Becky Lavelle & her family in response to the tragic and untimely passing of her twin sister Jenny and her nephew in December 2007. Jenny’s Light is a non-profit foundation created to spread awareness, educate and help support women and families dealing with perinatal mood disorders, including postpartum depression. <more>

Find your happy pace!
