Get ready for the 2nd annual XTERRA Illinois Wilds off road triathlon at Wildlife Prairie State Park. Create a team or tackle the course "el lobo solo"! Course Description: A 1/2 mile open-lake swim starts off the day. Transition to the 6-mile mountain bike loop – done twice – which offers a variety of unique scenery and terrain that only Wildlife Prairie Park can provide! A majority of the trail system traverses through reclaimed lands from the old coal mining days, which left behind ponds, lakes, ravines, ridges and even rocky terrain, rare phenomena on Central IL trails! Mixed in are stands of old growth forest and blazing fast paths through the open prairies that are the park’s namesake! This year's course will be showcasing our newly opened section of the South Side Trails!! Finish with a four-mile trail run on the paths near Wildlife's native animal enclosures! Hope to see you there!!!
