The Panther Pride Triathlon began as a way to celebrate the 1^st anniversary of the Dale Howard Family Activity Center. With the diverse country side and amazing community members along with some spirited athletes the triathlon has come to fruition. We wanted to create an event that would involve the entire community, promote wellness, be fun and well organized, utilize excellent facilities, and serve athletes as well.

The dream became a reality back in November when we found Iowa Falls State Bank to sponsor the event. The first annual Panther Pride Triathlon will hopefully be a huge success! Our goal is to have around 250 athletes participate in the event held in Iowa Falls.

Our commitment is: Community, wellness, excellence, and fun. Don't miss it! Be a part of the first Panther Pride Triathlon - sign up, volunteer, donate, or cheer from your front porch. The Panther Pride Triathlon of Iowa Falls, Iowa is indeed a stellar event!
