Raise the Bar

Enthusiastic and Supportive Multisport Club

It’s always more fun to swim, bike, and run with friends than to go it alone! RTB is a vibrant, passionate, and supportive community of 200 athletes who inspire and uplift each other to reach their full potential.

Train together, race together

At RTB, we train, grow, and race together, forming lifelong friendships along the way. There’s nothing quite like the energy of seeing your teammates cheering you on during a race—and the joy of cheering them on in return.

Coaching

We provide multiple coached pool swims each week, along with expert-led open water sessions during the summer—giving you the confidence and preparation you need to be race-ready!

Community

We embody the Plus, Minus, Equals personal development framework. We grow by learning from and being inspired by those with more experience, challenging and motivating peers of similar ability, and guiding and encouraging those who are earlier on in their journey.

Best triathlon races in the area

In addition to being a great multisport club, Raise the Bar puts on the best triathlon and multisport races in the PNW. Our current races are the Black Diamond Triathlon and the Lake Meridian Triathlon – learn more about both at the links below!
