RESERVE YOUR SPOT is now open. No money down - just reserve your spot. Fees will stay at $65 for anyone who reserves.
We're basaaaccckkkk and ready to provide you with a safe event. Join us on the shores of the Nippersink Lake in Fox Lake, Illinois. Our .5 mile swim includes the world famous 'inflatable ducks' sure to bring a smile as you head back into shore. The bike course (12.5 miles) is a loop with some rollers that might challenge you. The 3.1 mile run is a flat out and back along the multi-use asphalt path within town.
Parking, transitions, start and finish lines are all within a block from each other. No long hauls carrying your equipment.
The same but only different. COVID has provided us with many challenges, however, with your help in following masked rules and social distancing we can make this all happen in a safe manner. Transition areas will be sectioned into 25 - 50 person corrals with bike racking separation within the corrals. A time trail swim start for each corral will allow for separation in the water as well as land. The finish line will celebrate your finish and accomplishments with limited 'hang out' time and awards to be completed virtually.
