The sport
of duathlon has a chance to come of age in Richmond
as a result of the National Duathlon Festival, an
event partnership between the Sports Backers and USA
Triathlon. Competitors that prefer to race on-road
will be introduced to those that race off-road and
vice versa. Of course some of the more hardcore competitors
will want to take on both events. Besides great competition,
the festival will be full of exhibitors from the running
and biking industry. In addition, Richmond is home
to hundreds of homegrown restaurants and bars just
waiting for your patronage. Put this all together
and you have an event for young and old competitors
from experienced professionals to first time beginners.
The Sports Backers and USA Triathlon
are working hard to make this event the best showcase
for the sport of duathlon. An extensive effort has
been made to have an on-road bike course that is smooth
but at the same time still has a mixture of hills
and challenges on the course. The off-road events
include a variety of difficulties that feature everything
from hard, technical single track for the championship
event to gravel roads for the kids. The downtown venue
allows for improved spectator attendance and media
coverage for all of the events. The multi-lap format
for the on-road events will make this a great event
for spectators. No matter which race you enter you
will have best of the urban setting combined with
a park feel by the James River and its canals
