CiderMan Triathlon

The CiderMan Sprint Triathlon takes place in Millstadt, Illinois, celebrating the fall season with a community-focused event inspired by traditional apple cider making. Hosted by Buttercup Ranch & Creamery, the triathlon honors Flight 11 captain John Ogonowski and supports local first responders by donating 20% of proceeds. Participants can choose from various race options including sprint triathlon (individual or relay), swim or paddle events, aquabike, duathlon, 5K run, 20K bike, and a fun run/walk.

The event features scenic bike and run courses, early packet pickup, food from a regional food truck, live jazz music, and camping, creating a festive and inclusive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
