The RTM Lakeside Triathlon is named in honor of a special man, Rodney T. Miller. He was an outstanding role model: a husband and father, a son, an athlete and coach who's life was cut short at 40 years of age while serving as an Illinois State Police investigator. Proceeds from this race support the Rodney T. Miller Memorial Fund, providing opportunities for youth through sports by providing equipment or training. Past awards from the Fund include providing swim lessons for 140 inner city at-risk youth, equipment for a variety of area youth teams in sports like softball and basketball as well as improvements to athletic fields and other grants.
