There is something for everyone!

"I enjoyed the opportunity to test myself against the biggest
and best duathlete field in the U.S. last year.  I was impressed with all the improvements the race organizers made and by their ability to attract top competitors.  It only means greater things to come in 2010!" - Adam Otstot, 2nd place age group finisher in '09, 3rd in '08.

 

Whether you’re a first-time duathlete or a hard-core competitor, there is something for everyone at the National Duathlon Festival!  The downtown urban course is a proven crowd-pleaser having played host to the largest Duathlon field ever in the U.S. last year. Stay in a downtown hotel and walk to the transition area, restaurants, and shopping. The post-race tailgate party, on-course spectator party zone and vendor expo combined with great off-road and on-road racing provides for one awesome Du weekend! Let's set a new record this year with even more participants in 2010!

There will be a change in the first run distance for the On-Road Age Group National Championship this year.  As a result of a decision by the USAT Duathlon Committee, the first run will be a 5k instead of a 10kClick here for all the details.
