What does the future of triathlon really look like? Coach Chris Newport talks with Justin Boyer of Set Up Events about the evolution of triathlon, the resurgence of short-course racing, and why community—not distance—is what keeps athletes in the sport.

We discuss:

• The legacy of Set Up Events, Bill Scott and White Lake
• Why sprint racing is growing again
• The role of volunteers and race culture
• Burnout, longevity, and accessibility in endurance sports
• How local races shape the future of triathlon
• Plus a little challenge for everyone listening at the end :)

A must-listen for athletes, coaches, and anyone who loves the sport.
