ITU World Triathlon Family Fun Area

When:  September 16-19th

 


 

We're excited to announce that the GSLA has been selected to be in charge of this year's ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Family Fun Area in Chicago (September 16-19).  

We are calling for volunteers, kid-centric vendors, booths, entertainment and activities to help showcase Chicago for an international community of racers and their families. Sign up, ask questions or volunteer at info@greatersouthloop.org.
 
Here's the scoop on the event:

Chicago will welcome 150 of the world's top Olympic-distance triathletes as they compete for a world championship title less than a year prior to the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. In addition to the elite races, the event features top-flight sprint and Olympic-distance races for age-group athletes, paratriathletes, juniors and under-23s, as well as an aquathlon to kick off the action. In all, more than 8,000 of the world's best triathletes will compete for world titles over four days of competition.

The ITU World Triathlon Grand Final and World Championships are hosted by USA Triathlon, the National Governing Body for the sport of triathlon in the United States, and Lagardère Unlimited Events North America. Launched in 2009, the ITU World Triathlon Series is televised in more than 160 countries. Visit chicago.triathlon.org for more information.
