WELCOME TO CLERMONT

Welcome to the Clermont Draft Legal—an exhilarating weekend in March featuring fourteen separate draft legal races!

Since the inaugural event I co-founded with Bill Burnett in 2010, the Clermont Draft Legal has continued to attract top talent from across the country to Central Florida.

We have an exciting lineup for this 2-day event, including back-to-back National Development Races (U25 EDR), Youth F1 events, and an Age Group Draft Legal race. There’s truly no other race like it in the United States!

One of my favorite places to train is Lake Louisa State Park. The running trails are beautiful, the roads are quiet, and the lake is perfectly calm. For me, it's the ultimate place to train and race. I’m confident you’ll agree!

Triathlon has enriched my life with strong relationships—friends, competitors, and sponsors alike. I’m passionate about giving back to the sport I love. Please join us for an incredible early season competition. I look forward to seeing all of you in the heart of Florida for some sun, warmth, and good competition!
