What are your favorite races and triathlons in Chicago area? I like races with spectators and/or music, colorful participants, good food/beer at the end, etc.

Perhaps not what you were thinking of, but my favorite event is the North Shore Century that the Evanston Bicycle Club does. It is a true loop instead of the annoying in & outs from one main rest stop that many invitationals now do. Starts at Northwestern and goes to Kenosha and back. Well spaced rest stops, good food and enough riders to make it fun. After ride is OK, with music but not too many stay for long. Yet it adds a festive element and allows post ride mingling and socializing. Typically done 2nd or 3rd weekend in September.

What are some of your favorite events?

Avoid the South Shore Sprint Tri. It's really poorly run. Actually, pretty much anything RAM Racing runs has problems.

You didn't specify what distance races/tris you're looking for.

A smaller triathalon, but pretty area for competition is in Galena, IL. Great area to visit and hangout in afterwards too ... especially if you compete with friends in tow. Check the Galena/Jo Davies County website for upcoming dates and info. Best of luck ...
