Through our Sports Action Committee, the Greater Miami Chamber
of Commerce is bringing the USTS Budlight Triathlon to Miami
from Fort Lauderdale on May 3, 1987. We are asking for City
participation as co -host in this exciting kick-off to the 13-
city series.
Some of the highlights are:
° 1,500 participants; 1,000 of which will be from out of
the South Florida area.
° 1 hour ESPN coverage, (3 air times) highlighting downtown.
° first event in 13 City National Series.
° 1 mile swim at Bicentennial Park.
° 25 mile bike to Key Biscayne and back.
° 6 mile run from Bicentennial Park over McArthur Causeway.
° at the Sports Expo at race headquarters, OMNI Hotel.
In order to ensure a successful event, we are requesting a City
grant of $15,000 to CAT Sports, Inc. to cover operational expenses.
We feel the exposure of the series with ESPN coverage will be a
positive step in making Miami the i0utdoor Sports Capital.
Please support us on January 22.
Sincerely,
William 0. Cullom

I am a Vice President of Sun Bank/Miami,N.A. and an amateur tri-
athlete. I participated in the USTS Bud Light Triathlon in Fort
Lauderdale in 185 and '86. After the 86 event, I contacted the
promoter CAT Sports Inc. to see what interest they had in Miami.
They were interested; so was the Chamber of Commerce.
I can't think of a more beautiful urban setting for our sport
than downtown Miami. My idea is to use Bicentennial Park as a
transition and highlight the city's Port, Skyline, Bayside, and
Brickell Avenue as we swim, bike, and run.
We are seeking city support for the first year of the event to
insure a successful start to the 1987 USTS Series. Your support
will help allow for signifigant prizes and an outstanding race
conditions. We are assisting in locating corporate sponsorship,
selection of the course, choosing a race director, and helping
obtain necessary permits.
ESPN will cover this kick-off Triathlon. Viewing will be tape
delayed with at least three showings anticipated. If you saw
the coverage of the USTS Bud Light Baltimore or Hilton Head events
last year, you know the areas are well covered and excellent credit
is given to the municipalities and local sponsors. The Iron Man
and Nice Triathlons featured on ABC last weekend carried spots
soliciting participation in the Bud Light Series by calling a
national toll free number.
As the sport of Triathlon grows, Miami should be a logical location.
We have the transportation, accomodations, and one of the worlds
most beautiful urban settings. I hope you will agree to assist
our eff its for one year to introduce our city to the Trathlon.
Sin iely,•
