Beginning in 2012, the Pleasant District in Oak Park teamed up with the West Cook YMCA, Greenline Wheels, and The Competitive Foot to put on the first ever Pleasant District Family Triathlon. This incredibly unique event provided families in the Oak Park area the opportunity to participate in a low-stress, family friendly triathlon- the only one of its kind in the area, and maybe even the country!
The PDFT is a unique race format in that an adult and child participate together as a team, side-by-side in the pool, on their bikes, and on the run. One team = 1 child ages 7-15 + one adult age 16 and older. These adults can be parents, grandparents, siblings, babysitters, coaches, etc! Prizes are awarded to the top girl, boy, and adult in each age group.

REVIEWS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS
"Hands down, best kids race of the year. The unique team format allows the kids to race next to their parents and gives it a more relaxed atmosphere. I wouldn't be surprised to see this format become more and more popular. And kudos to West Cook YMCA for giving it a warm touch with their attention to detail and great communication."
