What is an Aquathon?

The Fleet Feet Aquathon Series is comprised of five events held at Menomonee Park. Each event consists of a 1000 meter swim followed by a 5000 meter run. Perfect for mid-week training with a bonus of chip timing and series prizes for the top finishers!

When and Where:

Menomonee Park - Once a month (two in August) on Thursday evenings from May through August - see dates above.

Weather Policy:

In the case of inclement weather, the Race Director will make the race time decision to delay or cancel the event. We will make every effort to hold the race on the scheduled date. If necessary, the distances of the swim and/or run may be modified based on conditions and safety. In the case of cancellation we will make every effort possible to reschedule the event at a later date (subject to park availability). If an event is cancelled, please check this website for rescheduling information. Also, if threatening weather, ie. severe thunderstorms, please check this website, the Fleet Feet website, and your email for news regarding possible cancellation of the event.

If circumstances require event cancellation, no refunds will be given.

Scoring will be based on finish placing. 1st place = 100pts, 2nd place = 99 pts, etc. Fifteenth place would be 85 pts. If you do not compete in an event, zero points will be awarded. The final series score will be based on the best 4 finishes out of the 5 events.
