ACCENTURE & VILLAGE CYCLE
Climb To The Top & You Might Just Ride Away With A New Trek
If you’ve got any legs left after the race, be sure to stop by the Accenture Climbing Wall for a chance to win a beautiful new Trek mountain bike courtesy of Accenture and Village Cycle. Open to race participants and spectators alike, anyone making it to the top will be entered into a raffle to win a Trek mountain bike. The bike will be awarded at the Post Race Party. The winner will be required to stop by Village Cycle for a fit and to collect their reward. Just look for the “Wall” with the Accenture and Village Cycle banners at the Post Race Party for a shot at some additional glory and a beautiful Trek. You must be 12-years or older and sign a waiver (if under 18 years, parents signature required) to climb, and you must be present at the Post Race Party to win.

FREE FITNESS TEST FROM FLEET FEET & POLAR
Take a load off your feet and take the world's easiest fitness test at the same time this weekend at the Polar booth at the Accenture Chicago Triathlon Expo and Post Race Party. A helper from Polar will put a Polar heart rate monitor on you. All you have to do is sit back and relax for three to five minutes while the monitor takes a sampling of your resting heart rate and then predicts-after taking into consideration your age, height, weight, sex and activity level-what your VO2 max score or level of aerobic fitness, will be. It's a simple way of measuring your fitness without raising a sweat!
