The race committee would to express our sincere apologies for the lack of portable bathrooms.

We've contracted with the same company for the prior 8 years without a hitch.

This year, for whatever reason, the company "crapped out"!!

Needless to say we are "pissed"!  But we also realize, sometimes "s**t happens"!

Thanks for being patient and a great sport!

Have a great rest of the racing season and a fabulous summer!!

The Race Around The World Duathlon was started in 2001 with the goal of becoming the largest multisport event in the south suburbs. With the help of numerous volunteers, the race committee has accomplished this goal and continues to produce a great race for the community.

The event consists of a 2 mile run, 11 mile bike, 2 mile run throughout scenic Tinley Park and the surrounding Forest Preserve area.

Thank you for considering this event that benefits the local charity, Together We Cope.  Together We Cope is a Tinley Park homeless prevention agency that provides assistance to area families.  Visit them at http://togetherwecope.org.
