2026 New Member Application

Real Women Tri Membership Application

First of all, thank you for your interest in Real Women Tri!  We review applications for new members in December of each year with new members joining in January to accommodate team gear ordering in time for the new season.

RWT was founded in 2009 as a women only multi-sport club in West Michigan, and since then we have enjoyed wonderful camaraderie and team success. We look forward to what the 2026 season will bring as well!

Our group currently consists of women who compete in all levels of triathlon, swimming, cycling, and running events. Some of us are beginners while others have quite a few years of racing experience. Our mission is to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle in the community, specifically among women and children. We encourage and motivate each other to train and compete in area races while creating a supportive and fun atmosphere. 

Due to our team’s success and the positive impact our women have made in the athletic community, the name of “Real Women Tri” has gained quite a lot of traction, and we are faced with a waiting list of women eager to join for the 2026 season. In order to accommodate all the membership requests, we ask that you please submit the following application. (Keep in mind that there will be a fee to join Real Women Tri – an early estimate is that membership fees will be about $50, and you will be required to purchase 1 full kit). 

If you would like to apply to become a member of Real Women Tri, we ask that you please briefly answer the following questions no later than Late Fall.

You may want to reference the mission statement, goals, and member requirements of Real Women Tri, located below for your convenience. The board will review all applications and inform you of your acceptance before the end of November.
