Race highlights
It's FREE, plus you get to run then bike and then run some more.
Aftewards you get a hot drink and soup.
"I love tearing along the single track" says Jeremy, a competitor from the 2007 New Year Duathlon. It is a truly exhilaring way to start the year.
Amos did not find last years race much to his liking.
"I am hoping for lots and lots of rain so the run course will be extra muddy" he said. That will slow up those skinny little runners that don't carry around extra weight from Christmas. Like that Jeremy dude, all I have ever seen him eat is lettuce and carrots.
