The Lake Wildwood Triathlon has officially reached the max amount of participants allowed for this year and registrations have been disabled. 

Lake Wildwood Association is a private, gated recreational community that is centrally located between Chicago and Peoria, just north of Varna, Illinois. The Association boasts two lakes - the largest, Lake Wildwood, is 220 acres and offers boating (including water sports), fishing and swimming. Lake Tanglewood is 18 acres and is strictly a fishing lake located near our private campground.

Proceeds from The Lake Wildwood "Make or Break at the Lake" Triathlon will benefit the Varna Fire Department.

Additional Information: (Please Read)

We are staging this event in an area of our community that is most convenient for our triathlon participants while also being respectful of our resident members. In doing so, there is limited parking near the event venue so we can only permit one vehicle per participant.  If, however, you have a need to bring multiple vehicles the day of the event we will do our best to accommodate. Simply send an email to triathlon@lake-wildwood.com so we may discuss your situation.  Lake Wildwood is a private gated community so unregistered vehicles will not be permitted access. 

If lake water temperatures are below 78 degrees (F) you may wear a wetsuit for the swim portion, otherwise, if water temperature is over 78 degrees (F), you may choose to wear a wetsuit, but you will be inelligible for awards.
