Team HFP Racing Benefits
Team members will receive numerous benefits with your membership including:
As with any team, your membership comes with certain benefits and certain expectations. Below we have outlined the expectations to be on the team. We have a pretty simple philosophy: do more — get more. We have team members that have been racing with us for 2 decades or more and no longer pay to race because they go well beyond the call of duty for HFP Racing. Others have been on the team just as long but choose to do just the minimum to continue to get their standard benefits — both are OK.
THIS IS IT…THE LAST CHANCE TO RACE AN OHIO TRIATHLON UNTIL 2015! We’re expecting over 750 participants in this season ending event. Come join this end of the season multisport party. [GET REGISTERED NOW]. Online registration closes Friday, September 26th at Noon.
