Foster Beach Saturday
Your First Triathlon, Your Best First Impression
Three transitions. Three disciplines. One incredible Saturday.
SuperSprint is designed for athletes ready to discover what they're truly capable of. You don't need a road bike or expensive gear. You don't need to have raced before. You need willingness and a week of training we'll guide you through.
Foster Beach is calm, welcoming, and filled with volunteer support. Chicago's streets are closed just for you. The lakefront run feels like victory before you even cross the finish line.
Your first triathlon should inspire you to sign up for your second. SuperSprint is how that happens.
The Divvy Wave — Race Chicago on Chicago Bikes
No road bike? No problem. No aero bars? Exactly.
The Divvy Wave puts you on one of Chicago's iconic shared bikes for the entire 10-kilometer bike leg. You'll join other athletes choosing the Divvy option and experience Chicago the way the city was meant to be experienced: pedaling through streets, not hiding behind drop bars.
It's accessible. It's fun. It's totally Chicago. And it's full racing—your time counts, your finish is official, your medal is earned.
Divvy Wave spots are limited and fill fast. Same-day registration is available; book early if this is your race.
