A duathlon is an athletic event that consists of a running leg, followed by a cycling leg and then another running leg in a format bearing some resemblance to a traditional triathlon without the swimming. Although races will not be timed, this duathlon is a USAT sanctioned event. Helmets are required and must be CPSC certified. Certification is typically noted inside most helmets. Limited scholarships and bicycles will be available on a first come, first serve basis if needed. For more information, please email csginfo@nedevelopment.com or call 617.621.8668.
