Go off-road to support a worthy cause! The 3rd annual DU Good Off-Road Duathlon is a duathlon (run/bike/run) to benefit community members in need. The proceeds from the event will be donated to community members to assist with medical bills and on-going treatments resulting from cancer.
The 2011 Duathlon is guaranteed to be another great event put on by DU Good Events. The running distance in the experienced category is now up to three miles and the bike course has a few new twists and turns!
