On Sunday, August 13, 2017, the Iron Girl Triathlon will take place
inside and around Prairie Springs Park. The swim and run courses will be
held entirely within the park; however, the bike course will take
athletes outside of the park and onto local roads.
Highway 165,
between Corporate Drive and County Highway H, will be closed to through
traffic from approximately 6:00 a.m. to noon on August 13.
The
bike route will take athletes west on Highway 165 out of Prairie Springs
Park; north on the East I-94 Frontage Road; west under the interstate
on County Highway C; and south on the West I-94 Frontage Road to State
Highway 165. At this point, bikers will make a U-turn and return to the
park in roughly the reverse direction.
Pleasant Prairie police
officers and local volunteers will be staffing intersections along the
route for the safety of athletes, spectators, and travelers. Detour
routes will be marked.
In many communities that host larger race
events, local residents will line the racecourse to cheer on and
encourage athletes. You are invited to do the same during our local
triathlons to help welcome these visitors to our community and encourage
these athletes. To learn more, please visit
Iron Girl.com.
The
Village would like to thank those of you who come out to cheer on our
athletes. The Village would also like to thank drivers in advance for
their patience and consideration with the road closure during the Iron
Girl Triathlon.
