Where a finish time would have placed in 2026.
At the 2026 JALC Tri-Festa Triathlon, the bike decided the most: the middle of the field lost about 8:00 to the top quarter there, 48% of the gap across the three legs.
Compared with a typical sprint triathlon in Illinois, the median swim here was 1:36 faster, the bike 0:56 slower and the run 0:41 slower (swim lengths differ from race to race).
| Leg | Top 10% | Top 25% | Median | Slowest 25% |

Faster than most US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:19:14, against 1:24:09 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 6 percent faster.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Rules and FAQ
Is this an indoor or outdoor race? It is a combination of both. The swim will be located in our aquatic center lap pool. The bike and the run will be outside on the local roadways. How will the swim be formatted? The swim is “serpentine”…
