What to expect after joining?
We update the Membership approximately every two weeks. Expect to receive a confirmation email with some of the following details.
About Us
The club is organized by volunteers and run by volunteers. With a lot of heart and commitment, the club's main goal is to nurture the group's core competency, camaraderie. Our goal is not to become the “largest” club in town per say, but to keep our members “fresh” and “spirited” in supporting each other.

Yahoo Groups E-List
This is our official form of communication and is for current members only. After sending the confirmation email, expect to receive an email from 'Yahoo Moderator' inviting you to join our group. Please make sure to accept the invite and follow through on all steps to confirm your access. You can revise settings so instead of receiving emails instantly you can receive a recap each day.
Advertising is reserved only for our sponsors.
We encourage our members to use the e-list to support each other but please be mindful when responding 'to all' so we don't clutter inboxes. Also, please help to keep topics related to triathlon or similar sport. If you do not want to be on the e-list, instructions to unsubscribe are on each email.
Facebook Group
In addition, we have created an official group page on Facebook for our registered members. We use this mainly to create events for RSVP purposes but members also enjoy this to post pictures and topics.
Advertising is reserved only for our sponsors.
Membership Discounts/Benefits from our Sponsors:
We do not carry a card but our participating sponsors review our membership list online (which we update every couple of weeks) – just let them know you are a Hammerhead and you should be able to get nicer discounts than most in town! If you are a new member, make sure to take a print out of your receipt in case website has not been updated.
Racing Out of Town?
Doing a half-Ironman or Ironman distance race out of town? Or the Miami Man or Miami 70.3 locally? Email our 'Travel Guy' so we can add your name to the list. The purpose of this is to help members connect with each other for tips on race, hotel, and logistics.
Bike Box Rental
The club owns two bike boxes which members can use to rent. Click here for details of the program.
Events
We have 11 monthly meetings – usually during the 3rd Wednesday of every month. We send official updates via our Yahoo Group’s E-list. These meetings are where we invite members to join each for social and educational purposes. The first hour is social hour dedicated for Hammerheads to chat … and shop at our local sponsor stores … and then we dedicate the second hour to announcements and a guest speaker.
Holiday Party
Our Holiday Party (with lots of great raffle items from our sponsors) is held annually the first Saturday of December. Save the Date! And click here for further details.
Water Stations
The club usually commits to approximately 5 water stations every year - ING Miami Marathon, Trilogy Triathlons (June, July, August), and Miami Man Triathlon (two stations in one here). The water stations become more of a reunion with friends rather than a chore so we invite all to join the fun. Interested? Contact Luis Camps for details.
Membership Gray T-Shirts
You get this with your membership. Due to the size of the club, shirts are available to pick up at the monthly meetings. For design and size specs, click here.
Uniforms
We typically order Uniforms (tri-suits, tri-tops, tri-shorts, cycling jersey, cycling shorts) once a year for summer arrival. We base the quantity on pre-orders we receive from members plus a little extra.
Hammerhead Gear
We also order Hammerhead-logo items like Tech Tees, Hats, Visors, Swim Caps, Stickers, etc. We do this a few times a year depending on demand. Click on Hammerhead Gear for further details.
