Brief Description

Are you a fan of triathlons, but just dread the swim. Well, you have to try this off-road duathlon (run, bike, run). It replaces the swim, with another run segment! This race runs through the smooth, scenic trails at New Germany State Park. It will be a great, challenging-for-all-skill-levels duathlon.
