Description
The Wisconsin Triathlon Series is an annual series of seven races held throughout Wisconsin during the spring and summer months. All races in the series offer sprint distance, while the Wisconsin Triterium, Green Lake and Tri-ing for A Cure Triathlons also offer an Olympic distance. Whether you are new to triathlons or have been doing them for years, we have a race that suits you!
The 16th annual Tri-ing for A Cure Triathlon will be held at Ottawa Lake State Park in the beautiful Southern Kettle Moraine Forest. In the fifth race of the Wisconsin Tri Series the sprint distance consists of a 1/4-mile swim in Ottawa Lake, followed by a 15-mile bike ride, and a flat 5K run course.

BODY MARKING / SWIM CAPS
After checking in, please go to the body marking area. Your race number will be marked on the leg and the arm. These markings are used to identify you at the start and end of the swim, as well as during the bike portion of your race. Race Day Events provides its participants with latex swim caps. The color of these swim caps denotes which wave you will be participating in. If you have a latex allergy, we encourage you to bring your own swim cap. The non-latex swim cap does not need to be the same color as your wave color, but if it is, that would be appreciated. If you do not have the same color, please alert the race official of your latex allergy before your wave enters the water.
