Check out the races we offer and how to become a Team Bright Side athlete. With your help, we can eradicate pediatric blood cancer and save children's lives.

 

In the 11 years that we’ve been a team, we have trained over 1,000 athletes to compete in the sport of triathlon, with over 750 completing the Chicago Triathlon alone. Our athletes have crossed finish lines globally at races of all distances, including Escape from Alcatraz, Chicago Triathlon, NYC Tri, and various 70.3 and Ironman competitions, including the World Championships. With a completion rate of 100%, we’re committed to giving our athletes the training to be the best versions of themselves on race day, whether it’s their first or 50th.

 

“I always tried to find the bright side.”
