Additional Information
Welcome to the 14th annual Opelousas Rotary Sunrise Duathlon. The design of the course is perfect for the beginner duathlete but yet challenging for even the more seasoned veteran duathletes. So come to historic Opelousas and join us for a day of great duathlon racing! The first 2 mile run will meander through scenic Indian Hills Subdivision. The bike route will take you down Prudhomme Lane to the I-49 Service Road going North. The participants will then turn off the service road and eventually get on Hwy. 743. Upon reaching the 8 mile mark the cylists will then follow the same route back to the transition area. The second 2 mile run will follow the same route as the first 2 mile run.
