From the Organizer
Join us for a no‑pressure triathlon training day designed for every athlete—whether you’re gearing up for a 70.3, an Olympic distance, or just want to tackle one or two disciplines. Swim, bike, and run at your own pace with zero expectations and no medals—just you, your goals, and a supportive community. All swimmers must use a buoy, and while the day is self‑supported, the club will provide on‑course nutrition and bike support to keep you moving strong. It’s the perfect chance to train, test your limits, and enjoy the journey.
Olympic and 70.3 distances routes, or pick any of the things you want to do.
Swim in Lake Michigan (swim course may vary depending on lake conditions)
Bike around Beverly Shores and Porter County (two loops for 70.3)
Run around Beverly Shores (two loops for 70.3)

FREE Training day for all NWI Tri members.
All non-members must purchase annual NWI Tri Membership below for $45
This is a training event, and not a race. There is no pressure to complete all swim/bike/run. Want to just swim? Want to aquabike? Want to do one loop of the run? You pick. There will be no timing, no awards, and no race swag. NWI TRI will provide cold water, Gatorade endurance, and some nutrition at Kemil beach parking lot.
Routes will be shared closer to the event.
