DUATHLON
For duathletes participating in the Elkhart Lake Duathlon, get ready for an exhilarating combination of running and biking that will put your endurance and skills to the test.
Your journey begins under the START flag, positioned just in front of the ramp down to the beach. The 3 Disciplines run course coordinator will be on hand, ensuring a smooth and organized start for all duathletes. Following the sprint swim start, you'll head out along the coned chute to the paved park path, reaching the DU turnaround sign. This 4-foot-tall A-frame marker signifies your halfway point at mile 1, where you'll make a swift turnaround and head back towards transition.
As you seamlessly transition from the first run to the biking leg, you'll merge with swimmers exiting the water, making your way onto the course for two exhilarating loops around the park. Enjoy the smooth blacktop surface and scenic views as you tackle the 20k bike leg, pushing yourself to new limits with each turn of the pedal.
After completing your two loops on the bike, it's time to transition once again for the final leg of the duathlon: a 5k run. Following the same course as the sprint athletes, you'll head out in the same direction as the first run, turning around at the sprint sign to complete your final push towards the finish line.
Throughout the race, the support of fellow athletes and the dedicated race coordinators will fuel your determination and drive. So lace up your shoes, mount your bike, and prepare to conquer the Genesis Triathlon duathlon with strength, speed, and unwavering resolve. Your journey to the finish line starts now.
