The iChallenge Indy triathlon & duathlon will provide multisport athletes a big-time event with a unique venue and amenities previously only found in the larger events outside of the region. iChallenge Indy will offer participants a challenging and memorable course along with unmatched professionalism in event management and customer service. The iChallenge Indy will consist of a Classic Distance Triathlon (1/2 mile swim, 17 mile bike and 4 mile run) and a Classic Distance Duathlon (1 mile run, 17 mile bike and 4 mile run) There is also relay divisions for the triathlon (2 or 3 person). All in beautiful downtown Indianapolis!
The iChallenge goes above and beyond the normal triathlon experience! Here is what you can expect on race day!
PRE-RACE:
Exciting music and professional emcee to keep you informed and entertained as you get read to race!
DURING RACE:
Professional signage, Awesome Volunteer support, police protection for your safety on the swim, bike & run course. Multiple aid stations on the course.
POST-RACE:
Awesome post race refreshments for participants. Quick results and a fun and entertaining awards ceremony! An unforgettable post race party for the entire family! Plan to stick around and celebrate your finish with us in the park!
 The swim will take place in the downtown canal system inside White River State Park. At only 4 1/2 feet deep, the canal should provide beginner triathletes some relief from the anxiety that many beginners get during the swim. This point to point swim will be staggered based on swim ability allowing slower swimmers to proceed at a comfortable pace without fear of being ran over by faster swimmers. The swim will exit just steps from the transition area.
 The bike course will take participants through a scenic and fairly flat 8.5 mile loop. You will complete 2 loops for a total distance of 17 miles. Expect great volunteer and police protection along the way.
 The run course will take you across and along the White River passing the Zoo and through downtown Indianapolis. The course is 4 miles long. Don't worry as we will have hydration stations and signage every mile along the way!
 The centerpiece of White River State Park is definitely Celebration Plaza. With its expansive green space, the plaza will offer beautiful scenery and plenty of space for athletes in transition. The large, flat lawn is only steps from the swim exit and will give you a great location to start/finish each leg of the triathlon.
The event will begin at approximately 7:00 AM. There will be a staggered start to be determined based on registration. A full start schedule once finalized will be posted at www.ichallengetri.com.
This event will be sanctioned by USA Triathlon. All USAT rules will be enforced. Event is limited to ages 15 and over for ALL divisions. You must have a valid USA Triathlon Membership card or purchase a $10 One Day Membership.
