Fox Lake Sprint Triathlon

The Fox Lake Sprint Triathlon, held annually in Fox Lake, Illinois, is a USAT-sanctioned event featuring a 750-yard swim in Nippersink Lake with a triangular course marked by inflatable duck buoys and a swan finish. The 12-mile bike route includes rolling hills and straight sections for speed, followed by a 3.1-mile out-and-back run primarily on a paved bike path. The event welcomes both individual competitors and relay teams.

Known for its flat, fast run and no-draft bike rules, the triathlon offers convenient parking near transition areas and a lively finish line with food, music, and awards. It emphasizes a fun, community atmosphere with strong local sponsorship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
