Major League Triathlon – the Professional Triathlon League

MLT is the first and only professional triathlon league in the United States. The best male and female athletes in the world compete against each other in a unique swim-bike-run team event. Held in major cities across the US, MLT pros compete in pop-up “stadiums”, allowing for a viewer experience unlike anything before seen in sport. Major League Triathlon is more than just a race; it’s a show. The teams will face off in a super sprint mixed relay format. Each athlete will complete a quick swim, bike and run before tagging their next teammate in line. The first team to have all four athletes cross the finish line will win.
Our first three races of the season will be in Charlotte, NC on May 20th, Atlantic City, NJ on June 3rd, and Vail Valley, CO on August 26th. Total Prize Purse On Offer For Season: $140,000.
Major League Triathlon is thrilled to announce that the 2017 MLT Championship will be held at Edgewater Park in conjunction with NEOCycle presented by Ohio Savings Bank on Saturday, Sept. 9th. This will be the first stop in Ohio for the series.
The triathlon will feature 32 of the best professional triathletes in the world. Each athlete will swim 300 meters, bike 4 miles and run 1 mile at Edgewater Park. This triathlon engages and excites spectators with its unique short, fast-paced structure. The event showcases professional athletes, among them Olympians and other internationally competitive triathletes.
MLT was formed in 2016 with the goal of creating a more spectator-friendly version of triathlon. MLT aims to grow the sport of triathlon on both an amateur and professional level.
