Training & Race Calendar

The Trilogy Calendar has been updated to include Training and Race dates. Located under the "Training" tab. Please let me know if you notice any input errors. Thank you.

It may be worth noting that you can sync this calendar with your own personal/work google calendar for use on different computers and your smart phone/device. This means you can have your personal appointments and race dates etc all in one place.
