So in remembrance of this time-honored family event\, we call our triathlon the CiderMan Sprint Triathlon. \n  \n20% of proceeds go to local first responders.Because the first CiderMan Sprint Triathlon was held on the 20th anniversary of 9-11\, we hold it in honor of the captain of Flight 11\, John Ogonowski. Rich\, one of our owners\, worked with John’s brother\, Jim. We give 20% of our proceeds to our local first responders (10% to police\, 10% to fire department). \nWe offer lots of options!Choose between sprint triathlon (individual or relay)\, swim or paddle (bring your own vessel)\, aquabike\, duathlon\, or individual 5k run or 20k bike\, even a Fun Run/Walk! \nEarly packet pickup is on September 11th from 4 – 6pm at the race tent. \nDon’t miss this unforgettable fall event—learn more and register at: https://buttercupranchandcreamery.tscheckout.com/event/ciderman-sprint-triathlon \nVenue: Buttercup Ranch & Creamery\n3801 Douglas Rd Millstadt IL 62260
