The swim portion of the Chicago Triathlon was canceled Sunday due to “unfavorable swim conditions,” according to event organizers.
Participants will compete in a duathlon — a run followed by a bike ride and another run — starting from the swim start area on the lakefront path adjacent to Lake Shore Drive and Balbo Avenue, according to a statement from the Chicago Triathlon.
Athletes are asked to report to the same swim area and will line up in their original assignment groupings, the statement said. They won’t need to bring swim equipment and are asked to wear running shoes.
