The Summer is heating up and so is race season. If you are looking for your next challenge, we have a list of races that are still open for registration.
The South Shore Multisport Festival
The other triathlon in Lake Michigan is the South Shore Multisport Festival, hosted by Running Away Multisport. If you are not ready to mix it up with 8000 other athletes in The Chicago Triathlon, but still want to feel what it's like to swim, bike and run along Lake Shore Drive, then this is the race for you. A sprint, super sprint and duathlon on the South side of the city promise to be a great event and as always first class goodie bags.
Saturday, July 31st- Click here for more information.

Rev3. Triathlon- Half and Full IM Distance Triathlon.
This is the new triathlon series hosted by 5 time Ironman winner Heather
Gollnick. So far the pros and age groupers alike
have been raving about the Rev.3 races. On September 12th, the next in
the Rev.3 series kicks off in Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky,
Ohio.
That's right, while you are racing, the entire park is open to your
family and friends to enjoy themselves. They are armed with GPS
trackers, so they can come back to transition (in the amusement park)
and cheer you on, then go back and play!
If you are burnt out on Madison, but want a great challenge and race head to head with some of the top pros, check out Rev.3.
