We’re thinking about running on this National Running Day, and I have a suggestion for you – please consider some first-time races this year when planning your calendar.
It takes a huge amount of work to set up a new race, and most of the work is done by volunteers. The second and subsequent years of a race a lot of the groundwork is already done, but that first year….
Here are two inaugural races in race county to consider. I’m personally acquainted with some of those working on creating these races, and I have seen the work they’re doing. Let’s make the races a success!

Two new fall triathlons added at the Pleasant Prairie RecPlex
Two new Indoor/Outdoor Triathlons have been added this fall to the RecPlex’s long-running Turkey Triathlon, held the weekend before Thanksgiving. The new triathlon dates are September 19 and October 17.
The RecPlex, located just across the Wisconsin border off I-94, is the venue of the Pleasant Prairie Triathlons, the Chicagoland Trek Women’s Triathlon, and the Danskin Triathlon. The facility also offers winter, spring and fall indoor triathlons, which allow athletes to continue racing in what is traditionally the “off-season” in the Midwest.
