Description
Besides The University of Wisconsin and its abundance of dairy, Madison also has the most amazing triathlon and active population around.
In 2021 The American College of Sports Medicine ranked Madison in the top 5 fittest U.S. cities. Come swim, bike, and run with us while we take you on a tour of our great city. You won't be disappointed!
The race will grace the shores along iconic Olin Park in both Madison and Monona, two great cities in Wisconsin. Start with a 1.2 mile swim in the historic waters of Lake Monona, then bike 56 miles among the endless rolling hills of Dane County, south of Madison. Finally, a picturesque 13.1 mile run along the shores of Lake Monona.
Brought to you by Madison's own Race Day Events, producers of the incredibly popular Wisconsin Tri Series, Lake Monona 20K and many more Wisconsin events. The Wisconsin Milkman Triathlon represents a new era in half distance racing in the Midwest.

BODY MARKING / SWIM CAPS
After checking in, please go to the body marking area. Your race number will be marked on the leg and the arm. These markings are used to identify you at the start and end of the swim, as well as during the bike portion of your race. Race Day Events provides its participants with latex swim caps. The color of these swim caps denotes which wave you will be participating in. If you have a latex allergy, we encourage you to bring your own swim cap. The non-latex swim cap does not need to be the same color as your wave color, but if it is, that would be appreciated. If you do not have the same color, please alert the race official of your latex allergy before your wave enters the water.
