The Tower Triathlon, in its 30th year, is a ChampionChip timed and USAT sanctioned race long considered an ideal “warm up” for the Chicagoland areas longer distance events and a perfect venue for the first time triathlete. This 450 yard swim, 18k bike and 5k run is fully supported by volunteers, aid stations and a spectator friendly course. Each year the Tower Triathlon proceeds are donated to the Leaning Tower YMCA Annual Fund Campaign.
