Why not throw a little ride in with your run? Or a run in with your ride? The Minneapolis Duathlon is just the place to do it with this 5K run - 18-mile bike - 5K run through the heart of Minneapolis. This urban race is set for Sunday, August 26th, 2012 and will take all single participants or relay teams, no matter your ability, on a race you'll always remember. Plus you get great gear -- a bike jersey and a bike kit consisting of arm warmers, a hat and a bike bag!
Everyone who signs up, receives Minneapolis Duathlon bike jersey, arm warmers, hat, and a beautiful stained-glass finisher's medal when the race is complete! How great is that?
"Running is a great sport..cycling is a great sport..why not marry the two and place it in the heart of a beautiful city," John Larson, Executive Director of Team Ortho said. But you don't have to be a running or cycling pro to compete. "You don't have to buy a tri-bike for this event," Caleb Olsen, Director of Operations and Training Director for Team Ortho explained. "We hope you can compete with the bike that's in your garage." The organization will put cyclists into different categories, depending on the style of bike used: road, mountain, commuter, or single speed.
Bike Categories are:
- Road
- Mountain
- Commuter
- Single Speed
Sorry no fixed gears, recumbent or tandem bikes allowed.
