At Leon’s Triathlon, everything we do is rooted in purpose. It’s about honoring our country, supporting our veterans, and bringing people together through something meaningful. That same spirit is what inspired the creation of our Leon’s Collector Cup series—and this year’s edition is one we are especially proud of.
As we look ahead to 2026, Leon’s Heroes will proudly commemorate 250 years of America with “America’s Race.” This year’s collector cup reflects that milestone in a powerful way. Designed in red, white, and blue, and marked with 1776–2026, it stands as a tribute to the enduring spirit of our nation and the people who have helped build and defend it.
This tradition began in 2024 with our very first collector cup, and moving forward, a new design will be released each year. Each one tells a story. Each one represents a moment in time. And together, they become a collection that reflects the heart and history of Leon’s Triathlon.
More than just a collectible, this cup represents something deeper. It is a small but meaningful way to honor the dedication, strength, and resilience of our U.S. Military and Veterans. The very people who inspire everything we do.
Stop in and visit race weekend and grab yours while they last and experience one of the most patriotic venues in America.
And as we prepare for June 7, 2026, we invite you to be part of something even bigger. From the shores of Lake Michigan to the finish line, Leon’s Triathlon continues to be a beginner-friendly triathlon near Chicago, welcoming athletes of all levels to take part in a race built on community, perseverance, and pride in our country.
This year is special.
This cup is special.
And we hope you’ll be part of it.
