**Race Update: We're Racing! 🏊🚴🏃**
After closely monitoring the air quality throughout the week in coordination with Crystal Lake Fire Department, the Crystal Lake Aquathon will proceed as scheduled on Sunday.
We recognize that every athlete has different health considerations and comfort levels. We encourage you to make the decision that is best for you. If you'd like to shorten your race distance (Olympic --> Sprint or 2-mile --> 1-mile swim), we're happy to accommodate those changes.
As a reminder, the Crystal Lake Aquathon is a fundraiser benefiting . Because every registration directly supports this mission, we are unable to offer refunds. If you decide not to participate due to the air quality, we'd be happy to offer you a discount toward next year's event.
Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and—most importantly—for supporting Girls on the Run. We can't wait to see everyone who joins us on Sunday! 💙
