The St. Pete MAD DOGs have always had a love of St. Anthony's Triathlon, and the event is one of the highlights of our social and racing season. Each year, we throw both a Pre Race Dinner/Social and a Post Race Party, host many professional triathletes as homestays, and ask our membership to consider volunteering at a waterstop during the 6.2 mile run on race day.

St. Anthony's Activities:
Look for early registration as an active Mad Dog at our November Anniversary Party at The Tavern at Bayboro.
We typically have 100+ athletes at our Wednesday Night Swim and Social the week before.
Would you like to homestay a pro athlete? Opportunities are available in March/April 2010.
Our Guest Speaker at the Membership Meeting the Thursday before St. Anthony's is typically a pro triathlete with an amazing opportunity for Q&A.
The Friday before St. A's, the Mad Dogs are proud to host a free pre-race pasta dinner/social. What a perfect event to attend just after packet pick-up and bike check-in!
Just after Sunday's race, we have a free post-race party, complete with food, beer and music.
