Saturday-Sunday, April 25th-26th
National Duathlon Festival
2nd and Byrd Streets, Downtown
Fee for participants, Free for spectators
Saturday 9am-2pm, Sunday 9am-1pm
Whether you're a first-time duathlete or a hard-core competitor, there
is something for everyone at the National Duathlon Festival. Historic
Downtown Richmond plays host to all things Duathlon. Registrations for
the 2009 USAT Duathlon National Championships have already eclipsed
last year's and are expected to set all-time records. New on-road and
off-road courses will enhance the competitors experience in 2009. The
post-race tailgate party, on-course spectator party zone and vendor
expo combined with great racing provides for one awesome Du weekend!
All events are open to everyone with no qualifying required! The same
start, finish and transition area as the 2008 national championships
will be used and will feature a festival atmosphere, though the
off-road and on-road run and bike courses have changed (maps and videos
at www.duathlonnationals.com).
Several new events have been added including the Du Duo Relay
two-person team event, the Double Du (fastest combined time in the
off-road and on-road age group championships) and club and collegiate
championships. The Richmond Triathlon Club will host the post-race
tailgate party. Sign up today because space is limited!
