A Warm Oxford Welcome

Greetings from the 2011 Triathlon

Committee and members of the Miami

University Student Foundation! We are very

excited that you are a part of the Sixth

Annual MUSF Triathlon.

While this is only the sixth year for the

MUSF Triathlon, this race has a longhistory. Following the founding of MUSF in

1972, the 20/20 Bike Race was born. In

1973, the original theme for the race, “A

Vision of the Future”, encompassed

MUSF’s goal to initiate an event that would

become an instant tradition. The first race

drew nearly 2,000 spectators and brought

a photo finish to the end of an exciting

event.

The race continued to grow though

the ‘70s and by the mid-‘80s it drew morethan 8,000 students. In 1985, a women’s

race was added and the top ten qualifying

teams competed in a ten mile race.

In 2006, as a result of declining

participation in the race, MUSF presented

the triathlon, with the hopes that this event

would better meet the interest of Miami’s

current community and students. Last

year’s triathlon attracted over 650

participants, establishing itself as a

signature campus event raising funds for

student scholarships.

To the university staff, Alumni

Association, and members of the Triathlon

Committee and Student Foundation, we

thank you for your hard work and

dedication to this event.

To participants and spectators of the

MUSF Triathlon, we wish you the best of

luck and extend our gratitude for your

support of our efforts in raising money for

student scholarships. We look forward to

seeing you all again next year as this new

tradition on Miami University’s campus

continues to grow.

Best regards,

Allie Foote ’11 & Alex Owens ’12

What the MUSF Triathlon means to the members of the Student Foundation

More so than any other event the Miami University Student

Foundation puts on throughout the school year, the Triathlon truly brings

together every member of MUSF.

Each year, we begin planning for the triathlon during the

Fall semester. Preparations for the event are ongoing right up

until the first swimmer enters the pool and the event begins.

It’s a long process, making sure MUSF puts on the best

event they can for the participants.

Maybe it’s getting up at 4:30am on Saturday morning to

get everything ready by 6am. Maybe it’s seeing over 650

participants filling the pool deck and showing their appreciation for

MUSFers cheering them on during the grueling bike portion. But maybe

the strongest reason for why the Triathlon brings MUSF closer is knowing

that we put on a professional event, together, and that it’s for something

bigger than just us. All the proceeds we make off the Triathlon and

our other events go towards awarding student scholarships. It’s

why we do what we do.

MUSF has a lot of different events throughout the

year, organized and put on by the various committees within

the Foundation. The other events wouldn’t be possible

without the help of everyone, but the Triathlon is the greatest

test of MUSF’s strength as an organization. We believe we do a

pretty good job at it, and again we thank you for supporting our

mission to help students; past, present and future.

Don’t Miss Athlete’s Village!

New this year to the MUSF

Triathlon is the addition

of Athlete’s Village -

the pre and post race

destination spot for

food, fun, and medals

for all competing

athletes. Stop by the

Village before, during

and after the race!
