These are challenging times. As we all navigate the momentous impact of COVID-19 on our daily lives and those of our loved ones, we want to provide an outlet for people to stay active, healthy, safe, and competitive if they choose to be, during this difficult situation.
The USA Duathlon Virtual Run Bike Run presented by Tower 26 gives you the flexibility to be a multisport athlete on your own time, at your own pace, and in your own space.
Information will be posted on USA Triathlon’s website.
You can complete the Virtual Run Bike Run inside on a stationary bike and a treadmill, or outside as long as you maintain the recommended minimum of at least six feet of social distancing. The three legs can be done all at once or broken into one leg per day. That’s the beauty of virtual racing.
The race dates will be announced soon!
Regardless of your fitness level, we hope you join us for this Virtual Run Bike Run. While these are individual activities, we’re all in this together. Together, we can unleash #OurPowerWithin.
WHAT IS A DUATHLON?
Duathlon is a run-bike-run combination. It is sometimes confused with biathlon, which is the official term for the Olympic sport of skiing and shooting. Typically contested in run-bike-run formats, duathlons vary in length and run-bike-run combinations.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Entry into this event is FREE, but there is an option to make a $35 donation to the USA Triathlon Foundation to receive the Multisport Community Package, which will include a finisher’s medal. The proceeds from this package will go back to the multisport community in the form of grants to help those in need overcome difficult setbacks due to COVID-19.
