Wright Patterson AFB
2009 Duathlon Series
Information
 Welcome to our 5th year of the duathlon series, we have worked hard to bring a relaxed and enjoyable race series for people of all ages and abilities.
Welcome to the 2009 Duathlon Series.
- April 28
- May 26
- June 23
- July 28
- August 25
This event is open to all base connected people (Military, Military Dependant, Civil Service, Civil Service dependant, and Base contractors), and as such this is a base intramural event and all base participants can earn Commander's Trophy points for their units as well. If you are not connected to the base, you must be a member of the Triathlon club to participate. There will be someone at the race to sign you up as a member if needed. Thanks for your understanding. Also, if you are a minor, a parent or guardian MUST be present to sign the race waiver in order for you to participate.
Okay, here are the details:
Races will start at 6:30pm
Registration begins at 5:15pm and closes at 6:15pm
There is NO preregistration other than being sure you are on the base access list. Registration is 1st come, 1st served, so if you really
want to race arrive early, we expect many of these events will fill to athlete capacity.
For information on location
ATTENTION!!! The Duathlon access list has been redone for this year, the old one was getting way too large. Currently ONLY Club members are on it, if you have a base ID of any kind and you can get on the base normally, you do not need to be on the list. If you do not have normal access to the base you have to be on the list, this includes family members coming to watch! Please email Mike Randall to verify or to add a name. Note! getting added to the access list requires at least 4 business days to accomplish, do not wait till the last day and expect to be able to get on base.
This race is very laid back, no draft marshals (We
believe you are adult enough to race legally and safely) No transition times,
in fact no rules, you even get to put your bike anywhere in the designated
parking area you want.
The race will start with a 2 mile run out and back followed by a 10 mile bike ride.
Okay, I lied one rule! You MUST wear a helmet at all times while on the bike.
Again no exceptions, this is a base requirement as well as an
intelligent safety issue.
When you finish your bike ride you get to run
the 2 miles again.
Then at the finish, we will have water, sports drink,
and more food for all participants. So first and last will get the same treatment.
Now, how much do you think a race of this quality should cost? $100?, $50? , $25? Well you would be wrong again.
We will put out a coffee can, and YOU decide how much you want to pay for the event, how is that for different?
Have a family member that wants to watch? Are you a fast/slow or stagnant club member? We could really use volunteer help as well. You will earn our
undying gratitude and a free cup of sports drink or water. Please all volunteers contact me before race day so I can figure out how many I have,
make assignments, and to prevent 100 people all wanting to volunteer for one race and then none at the others. So Volunteers are allowed and encouraged
to preregister, We will accept day of volunteers until all volunteer positions are filled.
Results will be posted on this web site the next day.
Contact Me
if you have questions, want to volunteer, or need further info.
To us everyone will be a winner, so come join us for some fun exercise and friendship
