OFFICIAL PROGRAM

Welcome to the Chicago Triathlon!

36 Years and Still Innovating.

Since its inception in 1983, the Chicago Triathlon has grown into a long-standing summer tradition.

The first race hosted only 760 participants who took over the city to navigate an incredible labyrinth of active waterways, highways and public thoroughfares. This August, nearly 10,000 athletes will do the same. Then or now, triathletes flock to Chicago at the end of August for the same reason - to achieve greatness in the most memorable of ways.

The original event was an immediate hit, later recognized as the “World’s Largest Triathlon” in 2007. While interest in the sport may have softened over the past five years, demand for the Chicago Triathlon has continued to grow by 25% during the same span. That reason is twofold.

First, and the most-obvious, is the city. The iconic Chicago skyline, coupled with a course that winds up, down and underneath the city center creates an unparalleled urban multisport experience. Unless you’re competing on race day, there is no other way to experience the same course. Ever.

The second reason lies in the team tasked with converting this metropolis into the sport’s most iconic racing venue. You will neither find a bigger passion for triathlon, nor a larger drive for excellence than the team assembling this August.

Together with 2,000+ volunteers, the collective team thrives on challenge, and dreams of ways to better the athlete experience year over year. As they bring those innovations to life, 2018 is no exception: •

For the first time since 2014, we’re making a big bike course adjustment. The 2018 event will now feature a 100% traffic-free Bike Course, utilizing all southbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive.

•

Last month’s inaugural Life Time Tri Series Championship event in NYC was a massive hit, and it’s expanding for 2019.

Qualification has expanded to the top five finishers within all Competitive divisions.

•

Taking a page from the Live Grit First-Timers’ Program success, all registrants now have the ability to select from other non-competitive start options, including a new Friends & Family wave. More than 1,000 athletes have opted to join the sport in this way.

•

Finally, to strengthen our focus on education within the sport, this year Life Time debuted a new Rules Officiating Program – designed to help athletes navigate the race day rules and better educate all athletes for future events they partake in. Check out the new Rules Video.

On behalf of this incredible city, our dedicated team and more than 250,000 individuals who already earned the title of “Triathlete” in Chicago, we welcome you to the world’s greatest multisport weekend.

We look forward to greeting you at the Finish Line.

Newsworthy

Notable components of this year’s Chicago Triathlon

Continued Growth

Chicago Triathlon participation continues to climb. This year’s event is on track to sell-out faster than last year, led especially by growth from first-time participants (who now represent 30% of the total field).

New Bike Course!

The 2018 event will now feature a 100% traffic-free Bike Course.

The 15-mile stretch along Lake Shore Drive portion will occupy all southbound traffic lanes. Athletes will continue to ride on their left (pass on right) during this portion, completing a clockwise loop between Randolph and Hollywood. International distance bikers will revert to traditional ride-right, pass-left rules once entering Lower Wacker Drive. See course map for new on/off ramp access.

2019 Championship Qualification

This year, the top five finishers from all Competitive divisions will earn guaranteed entry into the 2019 Life Time Tri Championship event, to be held in New York City on July 21. The first 50 qualifiers to register on-site for the 2019 Championship will earn complimentary bike shipping to/from New York City.

Recreational Race Options

The Chicago Triathlon is now allowing the public to select from a variety of non-competitive start groups, from First-Timers to Friends & Family waves. More than 1,000 participants opted-into these less-intimidating groups. These “recreational” waves also have higher thresholds for legal wetsuit temperatures.

New Race Rules

This year, Life Time Tri debuted a new Officiating Program with updated race rules designed to better educate all athletes, while moving to be in line with the global standards of triathlon.

Experienced triathletes will notice a variety of changes, including a new Penalty card and tent process. All athletes will watch a 7-minute rules video during the Athlete Briefings. View it at lifetimetri.com.

Athlete Briefings

Prior to picking-up their packets, all Sunday participants must attend a 30-minute Athlete Briefing at the Expo. These sessions are now on a first-come, first-served, starting every 30 minutes (no advance RSVP required).

Athlinks Race App

Gives you easy access to maps, schedules, event communications and live athlete update tracking.

Race Day Spectating

The Chicago Triathlon is the world’s largest multisport event. Just as all athletes should properly prepare for the enormity of race day, so should spectators. It’s not uncommon for many show-up to the lakefront without a plan, quickly growing frustrated and overwhelmed.

TIPS FOR THE BEST VIEWING:

• Know exactly what time your athlete starts the swim, and set a meeting point and time to say your goodbyes!

• Learn your athlete’s estimated time to reach specific parts of the course, especially at spectator-friendly spots.

• Plan your logistics, both into Grant Park and throughout the race venue. Public transit, parking garages, cabs and/or Divvy bikes are all great options – assuming you know which roads remain open to the public. Don’t forget about the free Chicago Trolleys that circle Grant Park.

• Know what your athlete will be wearing, to easily spot them.

• Download the Athlinks App to stay in-the-know.

12

ChicagoTriathlon.com

• Bring a snack, money, sunscreen and wear comfy shoes!

• Remember that the triathlon is an individual sport. Unlike the marathon, where handing-off a jacket is common, triathletes can be penalized for outside assistance.

Where to Watch

Chicago Triathlon happens to be one of the most spectator-friendly races, beginning with the unique swim course is set in Monroe Harbor.

Unique competitions

While the Chicago Triathlon may be the world’s largest, what makes it special is the amount of boutique programs and special competitions.

Popular programs include:

SWIM

The Swim Course spans the entire lakefront path. Families can kiss each other goodbye as athletes jump in the water, then be no further than 25 yards from them through the duration.

Wave

The sold out program integrates 100 Divvy bikes to Saturday’s SuperSprint race. Although the program was built for new athletes looking to dabble in the sport, nearly half of this year’s participants are speedy veterans looking to test their own mettle.

triple challenge

175 participants will compete in the unique 59 mile Triple Challenge, which sold out in record time. Participants will race all three distances throughout the weekend, starting with Saturday’s SuperSprint race.

BIKe

Sprint athletes can easily be spotted at the Bike In/Out area at the Randolph Circle Drive, and on the North Avenue pedestrian bridge. For International athletes, the best vantage point is atop the 11th Street Pedestrian bridge, overlooking the McCormick Place Busway. Athletes will fly underneath twice, within 5-10 minutes, before venturing on the lakefront Run Course.

First-timers’ Program

In its fourth year, the Live Grit First-Timers’ Program has grown and sold-out at 450 participants.

Friends & Family Wave

Taking a page from the Live Grit First-Timers’ Program success, registrants now have the ability to select from other non-competitive start options, including a new Friends & Family wave (sold out).

100 club challenge

rUN

The best spot to view runners is in the Museum Campus, specifically in back of the Field Museum. This is a great spot to photograph your athletes, capturing both the skyline and converging groups of runners in the background. This area is referred to as the “spaghetti bowl.” And an easy walk back to the Finish Line, on Columbus.

The revamped First-Responders’ Competition continues to grow each year. The 100 Club is hosts 250 active or retired responders while generating $25,000 for the 100 Club of Chicago.

Visit www.ChicagoTriathlon.com to find out more info. about these unique competitions.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM

2018 Rules Summary

Experienced triathletes will notice a variety of changes to the Life Time Tri Officiating Program in 2018. While safety and fairness remain paramount, portions of the Officiating Program were redesigned to better educate the entire field of athletes while also applying better global standards across the sport. A highlight of these rules is noted below, with a full rules set and descriptions identified under separate cover. Athletes are highly encouraged to review these in detail to ensure a successful race experience.

On-site Presence

A full team of Race Officials will be on-site and integrated with athletes throughout the entire weekend - from Packet Pick-Up to Transition and through the Awards Ceremony.

Wetsuit Temperatures

Legal wetsuit temperatures are now relative to one of two athlete “divisions,” originally selected during registration. ”Recreational” division participants may wear wetsuits in waters up to and including 83.9°F. “Competitive” athletes (those competing for awards) are able to wear wetsuits in waters up to and including 78.0°F, in line with global standards. If approaching weekend water temperatures are of concern, athletes may elect to change divisions at Packet Pick-Up. Full details are listed on page IV of the Rules Book.

Draft Zone

Moving toward the global short course standard, Life Time Tri will move to a 9m draft zone. Athletes must keep four (4) bike lengths of space between them, or complete their pass in 20 seconds, to avoid a “drafting” penalty.

Penalty Card

When a penalty is being issued (and when deemed safe along the course), the Official will call out the athlete’s race number and present this black and white penalty card.

Penalty Tent

Athletes receiving a penalty will be directed to a Penalty Tent, located on the Run Course. Athletes must check-in here to serve their 3-minute time penalty.

Penalty Tent

• Be a good sportsman. Always.

• Don’t endanger anyone, including yourself.

• Cell phones, headphones and cameras are not allowed during the race.

• Participants may not receive assistance, in anyway, from anyone other than active racers, volunteers or official Race Staff.

• Keep it clean. Please don’t litter.

• Flotation devices are not allowed in the swim.

• Wear a helmet -- before, during and after the race.

• Walk your bike to the Mount Line, and be sure you are completely off your bike before the Dismount Line.

• Always ride on the right and pass on the left (with exception to a portion of the Chicago Triathlon course).

• Bib numbers are mandatory on the Run Course.

• Only registered athletes may cross the Finish Line.

• Penalties will warrant 3-minutes in the Penalty Tent.
