REVOLUTION3 Triathlon, organiser of the Rev3 triathlon series, has announced a brand new race location for 2012. August 2012 sees Revolution3 hold Olympic and Half Iron Distance races at Wisconsin Dells, billed as the waterpark capital of the world!
Pro and age group athletes are invited to compete in both distances for cash prizes.
“Wisconsin Dells is an amazing location and we’re so excited to launch a new event there,” said Charlie Patten, President of REVOLUTION3. “The atmosphere and attractions the Dells offers fits perfectly with Rev3’s focus on producing unique events that appeal to athletes and families alike.”
The Olympic distance consists of a 0.93 mile swim, 24.86 mile bike and 6.2 mile run and the Half Rev race is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.
“We are excited that REVOLUTION3 selected Wisconsin Dells as a 2012 race location,” said Alison Huber of the Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau Inc.
“Not only will the participants have an opportunity to compete in an outstanding and challenging event, but they are certain to enjoy all of the area’s many leisure activities and beautiful scenery as well.”
The swim portion of the race will take place in picturesque Lake Delton, accessing the lake at the Tommy Bartlett Ski Show, featuring stadium seating that gives spectators a unique view of the swim leg of the race. The bike course follows the shore of Lake Delton as it heads out to rural Wisconsin, offering challenging terrain while providing athletes a prime view of the beautiful countryside.
The run course follows the natural inclines of Wisconsin Dells Parkway past water parks and roller coasters. The course passes through downtown Wisconsin Dells and into the surrounding community.
