Are you a fan of triathlons, but just dread the swim. Well, you have to try this duathlon (run, bike, run). It replaces the swim, with another run segment! This race will be one for the ages, and it benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, so what better reason du you need to du this event?
Come out and make this a weekend to remember and sign up for either the 5k & Duathlon… or the 10-miler & Duathlon. All racers who compete in the duathlon on Saturday AND the 5k or 10-miler on Sunday will earn a plaque!
New in 2014: we are offering a relay section for this race. Want to just run? or know someone who just wants to bike? Well come on out and enjoy our race as a 2-person team!
