Duathlon Information:

The duathlon will start at 11am at Meadows Picnic area.

The event will consist of an opening run on trails and pavement which will consist of about 1.5 miles.

The bike leg will be on the road and consist of two loops around the park which will consist of about 8 miles. The route is rolling with one steep but short uphill.

The second run will be entirely on trails and be about 2.5 miles in length.

*Run lengths are not exact nor certified! The route may vary slightly depending on trail conditions found on the day of the event.

This is a very laid back and newbie friendly event. Bring your trail shoes and be prepared to get muddy. The bike is a super fun course and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face!

I wont be able to make it. How can I still order fall gear?

[Janet E]

The fall gear order information will be up on the website either today or tomorrow. You will be able to mail in your order forms if you can not attend the picnic. This will be an order that you won't want to sit on as we will probably only accept orders for about 2 weeks so. This is for two reasons-

1. We checked inventory and we are basing the order form (pieces / colors) upon what is currently in stock and we are hoping it does not change much. (We did have to take this into consideration more than you would think as many options / colors are extremely limited surprisingly.)
2. To get it turned around quickly for people who order. Turnaround should be pretty quick on this order.

How was picnic?

I wanted to bring some kids but the cold and rain was something they did not want to be in. If
I would have left them and gone alone the wife would not have been happy.

any way

How was it?
