Crossing The Line

Watch your family or friends cross the finish line with a great view in the grandstands. When athletes cross the finish line,  their ChampionChip will be removed. Athletes must then move quickly out of the finish area and into the post-event party area which will offer food, beverages, massages and live entertainment.

Athletes, families, friends, volunteers and spectators can enjoy a wide range of activities and services at the post-event party.
 

Raccoon River Expo and Family Fun Zone

Spectators of all ages at the Hy-Vee Triathlon will have plenty to keep them busy while they cheer the thousands of athletes to the finish line.

There will be more than 100 locations where visitors can play games, sample food and watch demonstrations. Activities will feature the Pepsi Superbowl Football Experience, where would-be superstars can test their vertical jump, speed, throwing arm and field-goal accuracy. Then there’s Gametruck, a video arcade on wheels with four giant monitors and room for 16 players. Younger fans will enjoy inflatable slides, bounce houses and much more.

Vendors will also be on hand with free product samples, and there’ll be plenty of food and beverages for purchase, including a beer garden open throughout the weekend.
