The second annual Race on the River Triathlon and 5K run/walk will be held Saturday beginning at 8 a.m. at Star Mill Park in Racine.

The Race on the River Triathlon is a sprint-length, reverse-order triathlon. The distances of the run and bicycle segments will be 5 kilometers and 20 kilometers (3.1 and 12.4 miles), respectively, followed by a 200-meter swim at London Pool, Syracuse.

Triathlon registration is open for individuals and three-member teams. Registration for individual athletes is $30 in advance or $40 on race day; teams are $60 in advance and $70 on race day. Registration will begin at 7 a.m. on race day.

A separate 5K run/walk will also be held the morning of the triathlon using the same running route as the triathletes. Registration for that event is $15 in advance and $20 the day of the race, using the same registration form as the triathletes. Awards will be given for overall winners in both classes and age group winners.

Registration/packet pick-up will begin July 30 at 7 a.m. at Star Mill Park with all races beginning rain or shine at 8 a.m. Awards for overall winners and age groups will follow at London Pool.
