FishHawk Triathlon Club’s 2nd Annual Duathlon

Run, bike, and run! FishHawk Triathlon Club is now registering athletes for its 2nd Annual Duathlon on March 9th, 2014. Participants will run 1.57 miles, then bike 14.16 miles, and finish with a 3.14 mile run. The duathlon is the great way for recreational athletes looking for new challenges to compete and have fun.

The race starts at Just Rides Bicycles in the River Springs Shopping Plaza at the intersection of Bell Shoals, FishHawk Boulevard, and Boyette Road. A great race for spectators, the course will encircle FishHawk Ranch on the bike and loop Mosaic’s FishHawk headquarters multiple times for the run legs. The route will be supported by Hillsborough County Sheriffs.

All ages are welcome, but the race entries are limited to 200 participants. T-shirts, food, and music will be provided. Awards will be given to the top athletes in each age group, top overall male and female masters, and the top overall male and female participants.
