_ 2017 Du the Bricks Sprint Duathlon:
Over a year in the making, we set our sights on this venue months before last year’s 3D DU, which was the final year at Willow Metropark. For the new venue, we wanted a historic, unique location, one with a lot of history and character. The choice was obvious, and close to the warehouse, so we were able to spend a lot of time at this venue. In the process we found some great spots to eat as well as filled the kitchen with farmers market items.

Course Information:
• While this course is fast, make no mistake, we made sure to include the few hills you’ll find in and around Flint. Gotta keep everybody honest out there, on the run and the bike.
• The run course shoots you downhill right out of the gate to a beautiful trail along the river; so you have a good 4 blocks to get things sorted out before a 6’ wide trail takes over the next 2 miles. This is going to wind you along the river, past Kettering, and back downtown before you jump off the river trail and onto the bricks, uphill to the finish line.
• The Bike course takes you through the MSU and U of M campuses, through the art district, past historic Mott properties, then up through Mott College before a short section on the bricks before flying past the newly remodeled theater to a FLOW THRU Transition for each lap on the bike. Awesome!
