SUMMARY:6th Annual CiderMan Sprint Triathlon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 6th Annual CiderMan Sprint Triathlon on Saturday\, September 12th! This exciting triathlon event features a 500m swim\, 20k bike\, and 5k run. Come test your skills and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Southern Illinois! \n  \nThe History of the CiderMan Sprint TriathlonFall is a time for changing leaves\, fuzzy sweaters\, and crisp apples! We are Buttercup Ranch & Creamery and are all about learning and teaching people to do things for themselves\, especially natural\, healthy eating. \nFor years we have gotten together with family and friends to play games\, visit\, and make homemade fresh apple cider. Everyone brings apples\, gets a turn cranking the cider press\, and out comes yummy liquid gold. 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. \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
