Beginner Duathlon & Transition Clinic +5k Event

SwimBikeRun Fun’s Duathlon & 5K clinic is geared towards females new to duathlons and inclusive to all aspiring triathletes. Our Du clinic will take athletes through every aspect of racing a duathlon.

Our goal is to educate runners/cyclists on this multisport option for future activities.

And we’re excited to try out some state-of-the-art timing equipment that will allow us to capture timed results for athletes and host a almost free 5K race the same morning.

This clinic event is designed to give a "mini" duathlon experience. Experienced Triathletes & Duathletes will have an opportunity to practice bike-to-run transitions in a safe and fun environment. At this clinic, Duathletes will do a super sprint distance duathlon as well as practice TRANSITIONING from the run to bike to run, a very important aspect to successfully and enjoyably completing duathlons/triathlons.

We will have mentors in transition to provide hands-on help to set up your space and prepare for the race.

This clinic is limited to 15-45 participants and we recommend bringing running gear, towel, cycling gear (helmet, bike, bike shoes, pump) and all the questions you have about the event.
