New this year to celebrate the milestone date is CAKE and Abe is making an appearance and racing in his first Triathlon.   Come tri for cake and tri alongside Mr. Lincoln. 

And the huge development this year is the most awesome and photogenic I FINISHED backdrop.  We came across this idea while at the USAT Race Director Symposium and have been impressed with it's popularity with the racers. 

The Railsplitter Olympic will offer the chance for your club or team to take home a piece of history.  The team/club with the lowest score in the Oly will be awarded with a Triathlon Club Challenge plaque made from the 300 year old Gudgel Oak. This tree was around before our country was established and was present when Lincoln toured central Illinois. 

Gather your club or team and compete in the Oly and become a part of the Springfield Lincoln Tradition. 

Come celebrate our 10th year, tri for cake, race with Abe and get a much coveted photo of you commemorating your accomplishment. 

And if your team is fast, claim a piece of history and Lincoln lore.
