Carlyle Lake Triathlon
In partnership with Carlyle Lake, the City of Carlyle, Il, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, MSE Racing is proud to bring to you the Carlyle Lake Triathlon. This event replaces the CAPEX Triathlon from last year.
Experience an exciting rolling beach start for the beautiful Carlyle Lake swim, transitioning to a flat, scenic bike course over the planes of Illinois. The run takes you on rolling country roads to finish coming over the spillway at the end with a view of the largest man-made lake in Illinois. With multiple distance options to choose from, there is sure to be an event for every type and skill level of triathlete!
You'll revel in the famously flat and fast roads of Carlyle, the view over the spillway of the dam, and much, much more!!

SWIM
The Carlye Lake Triathlon provides a great swim experience. Rolling beach start off the beautiful Carlyle Lake shoreline. The raft start won't work well this year due to social distancing requirements. |
BIKE
With quiet country scenery and the flat roadways the Illinois countryside is famous for, The event offers a single shot loop for your ride to catch as much of the view as possible while speeding along smooth surfaces on quiet rural highways! |
RUN
Run along the spillway for a view that can only be seen to be adequately described. Whether you are under quiet tree cover or running past the rushing water on the opposite side of the dam as gulls chase fish, your run will be filled with sights and sounds to keep you entertained without losing your focus on the finish line!! |
