US local races could go 55-60$, but you don't as many things as you
mention. You get a cheap T shirt (nice if you're lucky) , cash prices
are rare, or very small, post race party supported by sponsors, pre-
race you have to pay, and medals (or awards) go to overall first and
top 3 in the age groups, relays, athena and clydesdale.

More expensive race can go up to 165 (i.e. Lonestar , Galveston, Tx),
and you get close to what you mention, more aid stations better
stocked, ...

15 to 30 Euro in Germany.
Cash prizes are seldom.
You can get a finisher shirt, a diplom and if you are better than the
rest, you can get a medal.

I am! Been racing in the Houston Area, and the Hill Country (Austin to
San Antonio area of influence). How bout ya?

Today we got rained out in Austin CapTexTri... so I got NOTHING !!!
(other than a T-shirt and a swim cap...)
The website says there could be a follow up... I hope so... but it's
not the rule. When they cancel... you're done! and no refunds, because
the money has been spent anyways...

15 to 25 euros in France. And you get a T-Shirt, and some prize money if you
make a top 10.

Guille,

That's a bummer about Cap-Tex.

I grew up in Austin, live in houston now, and discovered the sport last
sseason, doing 5 sprints in Houston & Austin. Had to quit running for
about 6 months due to Achilles tendonitis I got while training for the
Houston Marathon.

Finally training again, and doing the following this season:

Tejas Sprint
Lake Pflugerville Sprint (Maybe)
Ironhead Dallas Oly
Austin Tri Oly
Longhorn Half

What part of town are you in? Always looking for someone to join on the
long rides. It's still early in my season, so I'm still pretty aerobic
& slow.
