A preseason tradition
Every spring, Dare2tri rings in the triathlon season with a kickoff party known as Start the Season.
Traditionally held at On Tour Brewing Company in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, this family friendly event unites the paratri community with a street fest style celebration.
Festivities include an optional 5K fun run, raffles, food, drinks and live music. All proceeds go toward providing opportunities for athletes with physical disabilities and visual impairments by covering the costs of camps, equipment, and transportation.
