KMC Sage City Triathlon

Kirby Medical Center Announces KMC Sage City Triathlon

(Monticello, Illinois) — Kirby Medical Center is going to be hosting a brand new sprint triathlon on August 13, 2016. The triathlon will include a 300 meter swim, 13.5 mile bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run. This USAT certified course will start in the new Monticello city pool using a serpentine swim route and then continue on to the bike route, which will highlight one of Monticello’s prime attractions; Allerton Park. Riders will enter the park along the recently completed South entrance and circle the famous Sunsinger statue at the west edge of the park. The beautiful views offered by the park’s great features add a unique twist to this triathlon. To wrap it all up the third segment, the run, is a flat, fast course along a closed jogging path that is heavily shaded and travels over Monticello’s new wooden bridge spanning the Sangamon River. The run is paved for approximately two miles and is hard packed gravel for one mile. The surface variation offers terrific relief for tired feet. Expect PR run times!

All racers will receive a gender specific custom race shirt, finisher medal, race number belt, bib with bike frame sticker and a race collectible. In addition, there will be on-course support, post-race food and drinks and an award ceremony. We expect the first ever KMC Sage City Triathlon to be a fantastic event with many more to come in the future. If you wish to be a part of this inaugural race, please visit triharderpromotions.com/sage-city-sprint to register and receive more information.

It’s almost time for a new way to get fit – right here in Monticello!

CrossFit KMC is scheduled to open around the middle of June this year. Construction on the new 3,200 square-foot building that will house the CrossFit gym on Kirby premises is currently in the process of being built.

The state-of-the-art gym will be equipped with rowers, Airdyne^® bikes, kettlebells, medicine balls, barbells and more. CrossFit is promoted as both a physical exercise philosophy and a competitive fitness sport, and workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics and other exercises.

CrossFit classes are group training classes designed to motivate and encourage you to reach your fitness goals through constantly changing, functional movements that prepare you for anything in real life activities. Our certified expert coaches will help develop a game plan for you so you can reach your potential. It’s a fun, social and effective way to get healthy.

CrossFit KMC will be open to the public as an extension of health and wellness services developed by Kirby Medical Center. CrossFit, Inc. has pledged $21,000 to outfit the gym with CrossFit workout equipment.

Classes will be held Monday through Friday, three times per day (morning, midday and evening times). Once open, people will be able to register for classes at crossfitkmc.org.
