The renowned Olympic distance triathlon series, which is made up of several prominent triathlon events across the United States, welcomes back most of the races in the series and introduces two new events for 2011.
The Life Time Fitness Triathlon Series expands from 6 races to 7 events in 2011. Added to the series are the Nautica South Beach Triathlon in Miami and the Capital of Texas Triathlon in Austin. The reason it's only seven races in 2011 is that the series permanently loses one of the original series races, Nautica New York City Triathlon when it jumped ship to another series.

"We look forward to continuing to develop the sport and welcoming athletes from around the world."
The Life Time Fitness Triathlon Series was started in 2006 by linking four of the most prominent Olympic distance triathlons in the U.S: Life Time Fitness Triathlon in Minneapolis, the Nautica New York City Triathlon, the Accenture Chicago Triathlon, and the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Triathlon. In 2007 Life Time Fitness announced the expansion of the series with the addition of the Toyota U.S. Open Triathlon and the Race to the Toyota Cup championship race. The race brings together the top pro triathletes, the top elite amateurs and the top age group finishers.
