I wanted to share a multisport event I have been hosting for a few years. It’s actually four events in a single day, called Trail Mix. It’s in Rockford, IL which is about halfway between Chicago and Madison.
Sunday, October 6th at Atwood Park
9 am - Trail Mix Duathlon - 2 mile trail run, 10 mile mountain bike, 2 mile trail run
9 am - Half Mix 2 mile trail run, 5 mile mountain bike
Noon - Trail Mix 20 Mile Mountain Bike Race
Noon - Trail Mix 10 Mile Mountain Bike Race
The trails there are fantastic. There’s locally made ice cream, a meal from a fantastic taco truck, a nice Purist 26 oz event bottle, and custom event medals included in each entry. Pretty solid prize list too. I have slowed down a bit on road triathlons, but have really been enjoying the off-road stuff the last few years and our little event keeps expanding. If you’re in the area, I would love to have you join us!
