Cedar Lake Triathlon Series #5

Cedar Lake Triathlon Summer Series - Race #5 Embrace the vibrant summer evenings at Cedar Lake with our fifth installment of the season's triathlon series. Held every other Thursday, this grassroots racing experience offers two exciting race formats tailored to a wide range of athletes.
The Individual and Relay Sprint Triathlon presents an exhilarating blend of three disciplines: a 500-yard swim in the lake, followed by a 10-mile bike ride, and concluding with a 5k road run. This event is perfect for both newcomers eager to test their limits and seasoned triathletes aiming to refine their skills before fall competitions.
Join us as we celebrate your achievements through comprehensive awards that recognize top performers across all categories. Relay teams are warmly welcomed and celebrated throughout the race, fostering camaraderie among participants.
For those seeking a more compact challenge, our Super Sprint Triathlon returns for its second season. This shorter but equally thrilling event features a 200-yard swim, a 5-mile bike ride, and a 1-mile run. Perfectly suited for first-time triathletes, this race transforms regular humans into true athletes in just one Thursday evening.
Ages 13 and above are eligible to participate in the Super Sprint Triathlon. Families are encouraged to join; accompanying family members can race free of charge. The event is a cherished opportunity for bonding with your child through shared athletic experiences.
Race times are set at 6:10 PM for the Super Sprint, followed by Individual/Relay Sprint races starting at 6:15 PM on each Thursday night. Preregistration is mandatory to secure your spot and enjoy lower entry fees; these will increase if you register closer to race day. Last year's events sold out multiple times, so act quickly.
Online registration closes at 5:00 PM on the day of the event, with no onsite registration available this season. Race-day check-in begins promptly at 5:00 PM and all registered participants must be checked in by 5:45 PM to ensure a smooth start.
First-time athletes are particularly welcome; over 95% of our racers complete each race successfully. Our experienced volunteers and certified triathlon coach will provide guidance on buoy turns, transitions, and equipment setup at the transition area. Before you step onto your bike or hit the water, be sure to swim 20 pool lengths without stopping for a full sprint event.
Weather permitting, we look forward to seeing you this summer! In case of inclement weather, the race may be converted into a duathlon, shortened to a 5K run, or canceled altogether. Come join us and experience the joy of triathlons in our beautiful setting by Cedar Lake.
