Club Mini Duathlon March 21st: by Dave Carlson

It is that time of year again. We are planning a great event for our first Mini-Du. Based on input at the social we have decided to put on a kids mini as part of the event.

Last year we had a spectacular day and a wonderful turnout. This year we are going to start the day out with a transition clinic by Coach Jackie Arcana at 9:30. The adult race will begin at 10:00 followed by the kids race start.

We will begin the picnic after the adults finish - you can cheer the kids on with a hot dog in your hand. The event will start at the PICNIC area at Boulder Beach - Lake Mead. This is the first of the Club races.

This will be a short distance Duathlon, approximately a 1.5 mile run, 10 mile bike, 1.5 mile run. Registration begins at 9:15 near the picnic area at Boulder Beach. The kids race starting after the adults will be approximately a 1/2 mile run, 2.5 mile bike (on the paced River Mountain Trail), 1/2 mile run.

This race is free to Club members. A current 2009 membership is required to participate in all Club races. We will have a picnic beginning after the finish of the adults duathlon. Hang out after you finish and cheer on the kids finish and have a burger or hot dog.

If you are not planning on participating in this event, please come out and support your Club as a volunteer!
