\n\nSmith Physical Therapy + Running Academy is happy to bring back the Crystal Lake Aquathon for the 7th year (can you believe it???)! This annual event will be returning to the ideal confines of Three Oaks Recreation Center in Crystal Lake\, IL. As the only aquathon in the state of Illinois\, this race will offer 3 timed options. All proceeds from the race benefit Girls on the Run of Northwest Illinois! \;
\n\n\;
\n\nTimed Races \;
\n\n- Sprint Distance (500m swim\, 5k run) \;
\n\n- Olympic Distance (1 mile swim\, 10k run) \;
\n\n- 2 Mile Swim -1 Mile Swim. \;
\n\n* Please note the 1-mile swim does not include awards but is timed. \;
\n\nThe swim portion takes place in a modified quarry (swim around 3 islands!)\, and the run is on a combination of trail\, sand\, and pavement. Wet suits will be allowed if it is below 78 degrees (decision to be made by City of Crystal Lake staff based on water temperature). \;
\n\n\;
\n\nKids'\; Race \;
\n\nThe Kids'\; Race is perfect for anyone ages 7-12 that would like to try the Aquathon but needs a shorter distance. It includes a 250m swim and a 1 mile run. Swag is included\, along with a swim cap. All Kids'\; Race participants will receive a finisher'\;s medal however there are no awards. Lifeguards and a swim angel will be in the water with the swimmers for safety and encouragement. There is a relay option\, so if your child wants to partner with a friend\, it'\;s a great way for them to compete together! \;
\n\n\;
\n\nAdaptive Race \;
\n\nThe Adaptive Race will be a one mile swim only. Swimmers will be allowed physical support from their own family/friends only for protection of the racers and volunteers and may use adaptive equipment in the water as needed.
