Most people don’t sign up for something like this because they think:
“I’m not ready.”
But the truth is… most people who show up aren’t “ready” either.
They just decide to try.
That’s why we added the Mini-Biathlon this year:
👉 1 mile run
👉 7.5 mile bike
No pressure. No expectations. Just a chance to do something different.
And once you’re done… you’ll understand why people come back.
“GREAT DAY! Capital City Biathlon — a really fun challenge and venue.”
— Bob Hentrich, Chillicothe, IL
“Beautiful morning for a race!”
— Mark Birtch, Springfield, IL
“Great time at the Capital City Biathlon!”
— Cindee Fassero, Springfield, IL
“I always enjoy this race due to the flat 5K route and was even able to run a personal best.”
— Brian Tomkinson, Lincoln, IL
It’s not about being fast.
It’s about showing up.
