Prairie State Cup is a triathlon race on October 3, 2026 in Dewitt, IL, with an entry fee of $90.
From the Organizer
The Collegiate Cup Race is open to NCAA Collegiate Women from across the country. This is a Draft-Legal Sprint Collegiate Club Race. 750-meter swim, 12 mile bike, 3.2-mile run. No lap out rule. This event will be completed in 2 waves. The split of the waves will be decided after receiving entries, but the current intent is to offer a NCAA D1, D2, & 85% or higher ranking wave and then a NCAA D3 and 85% or lower wave. The WAVES will be decided with the coaches, organizer, and officials and communicated closer to the event. The first wave will start at 9:00 AM CST and the second wave will start immediately after the completion of the first wave OR start immediately after the last bike is racked from Wave 1. We will be opening up the main road in the park at 12:00PM CST, but will continue to have volunteers stationed around the running course for safety. Meet officials have the right to force the completion of the race to score the Prairie State Cup Race for awards to be presented at 12:30pm CST. There will be a time limit/cutoff for the swim (20min) and bike (45min) to allow for the timeline. If there are still athletes competing after 12:00 CST, they will be given a DNF status.

Three sports, one race — swim, bike, run in sequence, with transitions that are a discipline of their own.
Open water, open roads, and competition with yourself. Cross the finish line knowing what it took to get there.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think. Three sports in one race means three movements to train and race day never gets monotonous.
