COMMITTEE

The Whistler Club is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, who all have a passion for triathlon. The committee meets every two months and input from our members is always encouraged.

President: Dale Tiessen

Dale has been involved in cycling, running, swimming and triathlon, as an enthusiast and amateur racer since childhood. He rides and races road, gravel, cyclocross, cross country and enduro, and both traditional and off-road triathlon, as well as running recreationally. After a 20+ hiatus from triathlon, he rejoined this great sport when he joined the Whistler community five years ago. Since that time, he's been a Director of the Club and founder of the Whistler X Triathlon, an off-road format triathlon that in only two years has grown to be the largest off-road event in BC. Dale is also active in the community as a director on the Whistler Health Care Foundation. He enjoys backcountry skiing, hiking and other outdoor pursuits.

Vice President: Marla Zucht

After having completed 17 Ironman races, including four World Championships in Hawaii, triathlon continues to be a lifelong passion for Marla. A large part of the motivation and enjoyment for her comes from the group training and camaraderie surrounding the sport in Whistler. When not racing triathlons, Marla is keen to get involved in all things outdoor and recreation from ski touring to trail racing and from ‘Everesting’ to gravel adventures. Anytime in motion, she is in her happy place.

Secretary: Marie-Anne Prevost

Marie-Anne is a fitness enthusiast who loves to train with like minded people. She has done all sorts of races ranging from cyclocross to Ironman to long distance swims to mountain biking to alpine skiing to cross country skiing. She loves to have a carrot to train for.
