The Nice Tri concept was the idea of Mindy Toyne, owner of In Any Event, a Des Moines-based event production company. She also has a special needs son who has never been able to participate in traditional sports. For years she thought a Lazy Triathlon or Nada Triathlon would be a blast for participants but never moved forward with the concept. After several years of hearing her son Koen plead with her to just “celebrate and embrace his laziness” it became apparent that this event needed to happen. Ultimately the goal was to create an event that truly offers something for absolutely everyone to enjoy.
The Nice Tri is supported by Choice Creative Solutions, Can Play, Zoa Energy Drink, Sparkling Ice, Blank Children's Hospital, Homemakers, and High Noon.
