Welcome to the home of the Hawkeye Endurance Athletics Team–the HEAT.
We are a family and beginner friendly group of athletic people that welcomes everyone from those who simply want to meet a new group of friends to the competitive athletes who want help improving their skills up to an elite level. Many of us are triathletes, but we are interested in all types of endurance sports. Running, road cycling, gravel biking, bikepacking, swimming–we do it all. If you’re a beginner who’d like to get involved by aiming for your first triathlon, contact us about our Try-A-Tri program.
We mainly use Slack to communicate with our members, but the community can join us there for free. Ask us for an invite to Slack if you are interested! We have also collected some information here for new and experienced athletes, including places to workout in the Iowa City/Coralville area, training plans and news, some of our race results, and articles written by our members about a variety of experiences.
Our club is an inclusive and welcoming place for all people who express human diversity in all its inspiring forms. We like to have a good time, so we organize and participate in many social activities as well. We try our best to plan engaging events that everyone will find useful no matter what their athletic goals may be. You can check out our calendar to see where we’ll be.
If you’d like to join our team, or just find out more information, please contact us.
We currently have no membership fee, although you may choose to donate to the club when you sign up. Donations go towards various club functions, as well as our yearly support of Camp Courageous.
Members receive discounts and benefits at our sponsor businesses.
