Village Cycle Center is once again proud to be a sponsor of the Life Time Fitness Chicago Triathlon 2013, and this year, we are bringing 3 great co-sponsors with us… Trek Bicycle Corp., Bontrager, and Sidi America! POW! To celebrate, we will be running contests and promotions from now until race day.
Look for Village Cycle Center on course and in transition providing support to all the participants of the Chicago Triathlon and all the races. We will also be in attendance at the post race party and have a huge booth with spectacular deals at the Chicago Multisport Expo right next to Course Talk.

Life Time Fitness Chicago Triathlon
Where the World Comes to Race™

Life Time Tri Chicago is an action-packed tour through one of America’s signature metropolises, offering sprint and international distance courses beginning at Monroe Harbor, looping along Lake Shore Drive and culminating with a rousing run down Columbus Drive.
Race weekend also includes the Fleet Feet Sports SuperSprint Triathlon and the Chicago Kids Triathlon, one of the largest youth triathlons in the world drawing more than 1,000 children ages 7–14 on Saturday morning.

Mountain Bike Division by Village Cycle Center
Though Village Cycle Center is in Chicago, many of us at the store are mountain bikers, and in honor of that, we sponsor the mountain bike division of Life Time Chicago Triathlon.
All athletes registered in the sprint and international distance events at Life Time Tri Chicago have the option of competing in the Mountain Bike Division.
Although athletes in either international or sprint may elect to ride mountain bikes, only participants who register specifically for the Village Cycle Center mountain bike division will have the opportunity to compete exclusively with other mountain bike athletes for Mountain Bike Division awards.
To compete in the Village Cycle Mountain Bike Division, the tires on your bike must be at least 1.75 inches in width.
Athletes in the Village Cycle Mountain Bike Division will go off in waves within the sprint and international distance competitions, with awards going to the top three men and top three women overall in both the sprint and international distance.
