Kickapoo Triathlon

ΚîÇΚÂΡΘΘ ΤRÎÂΤHLΘΝ

After a one-year hiatus, the Kickapoo Triathlon and Duathlon is back!  It's now being put on by, and for the benefit of, Quarry Triathlon Club, a youth developmental triathlon program based in Bloomington, IN.

USA Triathlon Sanctioned Event

USAT membership will be required at registration or you can opt for a one-day USAT license.

500Μ SWIM  20K BIKE  5K RUN

The triathlon will begin with a 500-meter swim in beautiful Lake Kickapoo.  There will be separate wave starts for male and female, then a time trial start for those who prefer not to do a wave start.  Athletes will then head out for a fast, two-loop, 20k bike course on smooth, mostly flat roads.  The run leg will be a shaded, slightly rolling, out-and-back 5k.

The duathlon will start at the same time as the first wave of the triathlon, but with a 1-mile out-and-back run in place of the swim, then continuing on with the same 20k bike and 5k run as the triathlon.

This race is held completely within beautiful Shakamak State Park with little traffic, making it perfect for beginners.  The good road surface and shaded run are ideal for veterans seeking a fast time.  Water will be available on the run course.  Snacks and drinks will be provided after the race.

You must register by July 20 if you want to add a race t-shirt.
