WHAT:   XTERRA DINO Northern Indiana

WHEN:  July 24, 2021

WHERE:  25601 IN-4,  North Liberty  IN 46554 (map it)  

XTERRA DINO Northern Indiana is the closest XTERRA Triathlon to Chicago, and a great choice for first-timers. It's flowy, fast, and fun for the experienced off-roader as well.

COVID-19 UPDATE :

XTERRA DINO Northern Indiana is ON for July 24.

However, Covid-19 is still a lingering concern. After months of steady improvement, new cases have taken an uptick in Indiana, so we're taking extra precautions for the race:

*Online registration only - deadline Wednesday, July 21. If you intend to race, please register promptly so we can plan accordingly.

*Face covering required at check-in and while at event site, except while racing.

*Maintain social distance at all times, except as necessary during the race..

*No more than 75 athletes will be allowed in any wave or start group.

*There will be no post-race awards ceremony or activities - please disperse after finishing.

*Do not participate if you have any Covid-19 symptoms.

*Note that St Joseph County (home to the race and city of South Bend) currently has a mandatory face-covering order for enclosed spaces.

*We ask participants and potential participants from outside our geographic region to carefully consider risks to public health before deciding to attend.

*Any registered participant that is uncomfortable under these conditions may request a refund by July 22 and receive a full refund (excluding Active Network processing fee)

*More detailed instructions/information will be sent to all registered participants on or around July 20.

Course Info - XTERRA Full Triathlon

1/2 MILE SWIM | 15 MILE MOUNTAIN BIKE  | 7 KM TRAIL RUN

SWIM: V-shaped swim course starting on the park's sand beach. Swim out 400m, then a hard left turn. Swim to the grassy shoreline of Orchard Shores picnic area. Water is almost always calm and relatively clean, but there is some algae and seaweed approaching the finish line.

Run up the hill (grass & sidewalk) to Transition Area (TA)

MOUNTAIN BIKE: Ride 1/2 mile in the grass shoulder on the south side of the roadway to the trailhead, begin two laps each 7 miles long. The course has no long hills, and only two or three steep places where a beginner might need to push the bike. Most of the course flows along nicely. After second lap, return to TA via the same south side of roadway grass shoulder.

TRAIL RUN: Run northeastward along trail 1, passing the Nature Center. Shortly after one mile, stay right to enter the lollipop loop part of the course. There are two notable hills named Steamboat Hill (which has steps going up), and Vargo Hill, just after the aid station. At about mile 3, a right turn puts runners back on the outbound trail for two-way traffic. Finish under the DINO archway.

Camping And Lodging

South Bend is just 10-15 minutes away and has ample lodging options. At the park, there is a large campground which will book a few weeks prior to race weekend. Camping reservations: http://indianastateparks.reserveamerica.com/

If you're racing, do you have a friend or family member who can help out? Volunteers are needed for aid stations, course marshals, lap counting, and lifeguarding. We can provide you with a park entry pass and a few other goodies! We may even be able to help with your entry fee if you provide us with a volunteer.
