Who is DelMoSports? What is DelMoSports? Great question. We are what is possible… just like you. We are what can happen when you refuse to settle for “that’s fine.” Have you had those thoughts run through your head? That things are “good enough?” We have those thoughts too. The DelMo Difference is in the details. From our world class customer service, to checking off the boxes that make DelMoSports New Jersey’s best triathlon series. We sweat the details for our athletes. We think like you, because we are you, we always have YOUR best interest at heart. Is that all? No. There is an intangible that we cannot explain as well. When an athlete steps into one of our races…something is different. There is an energy that only other athletes who have ‘taken the leap’ can describe. We believe DelMoSports is New Jersey’s Best Triathlon Series. We believe if you do the work, commit yourself, and stay positive that anything is possible. We believe these are the key ingredients in the recipe that makes the DelMo Difference.

Hey You. You know you are. You’re the ones that travel in wolf packs. Your crew rolls into an event and has the ability to make it a party or a PainCave. More importantly, you all love to dress the same with matching everything, like a family on a Disney trip... for the 34th time. Yes, you’re a Tri Club.
We love Tri Clubs.
Well, GOOD NEWS! You guys and gals are responsible for growing the sport of triathlon by taking in the newbies and keeping the old crusty veterans on their toes. We salute all of the hard work you do to keep this sport fun!
Tri Clubs + DelMoSports = :))
