Event Description

Welcome to the Inaugural

Where all levels of athletes are invited to push their limits amidst the serene landscape of Lincoln Trail State Park. Whether you're a seasoned athlete who wants to compete with the best, or a first-timer looking to try something new, Lincoln Trail Triathlon will be an unforgettable experience. This new event boasts a captivating swim OR paddle in the pristine waters of Lincoln Trail Lake, a two-loop bike course with a hint of elevation to keep things exciting, finishing with an shaded out-and-back run .

With the entire race contained within the park's confines and free from outside traffic, athletes and families can relish in the festive atmosphere, complete with activities tailored to our little future triathletes. Lincoln Trial Triathlon is conveniently located in Marshall Illinois, perfect for multisport enthusiasts from Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis areas and beyond. 

Proceeds of this race are going directly back to Lincoln Trail State Park to fund a project that will increase the bike-ability of the park through the installation of new bike racks, information stations, and potentially a bike service station accessible by all park visitors. It's our goal to create an engaging race experience that helps bring more visitors to this beautiful park and the city of Marshall.
