Proud to "DU" It Youth Duathlon Taking Place in New London

Run-bike-run event May 1st, 9 am at the New London High school. For ages 5-17, fee $15 per child plus $10 for USAT membership if needed.

Can you run and ride a bike? Are looking for a new challenge? We have different distances for each age group. This is a family friendly event where we encourage all abilities to enter and complete the course. Timing splits will be recorded for all 5 areas and medals will be awarded to every finisher. Music and food will follow at the Sports Complex. Everyone will run and bike on closed roads/trails. Training wheels can be used. Helmets are required for all. This is one of three events to earn a special “Triple Crown” prize if you compete in all three this summer! Trophies for the top two male and female participants in each division. RFID timing by Time to TRI. Register by April 15 to guarantee race t-shirt and personalized bib.
