FAST Club

A Triathlon Club for the young, the developing, and the experienced triathlete. Hosts of the annual Penn Lake Pursuit Triathlon and the FAST KOS Triathlon, held the last weekend of July. The FAST club continues to attract new members to the sport from the town of Marathon and Heron Bay. Marathon is located along the shore of Lake Superior. Perhaps our greatest asset is the rolling hills of the Trans Canada Highway, our quad building machine.

On these pages you will find information about our club, our racing events, pictures, results, tourism information and a little about us. Marathon's triathletes are also coaches, officials, fundraisers, and community builders. Of course we swim, bike, and run, but we also ski, kayak, hike, play hockey, volleyball and even play Ultimate.

2008 will provide us with a few challenges as we attempt to again host the Penn Lake Pursuit and the FAST KOS race. We will be undergoing a road widening project on the entrance road to the town. This will be fantastic when completed for attracting more local people to road cycling but in the mean time it will require us to look at some possible route changes for the cycling portion of our race. Our options are limited but our enthusiasm is not. We will make the necessary changes if needed. Out on the highway there will be a road construction project as well from the road into town to a point 18km east of town. Be sure to bookmark this page and return for updates on the progress of the work.
