SHOODU OffRoad Sprint Duathlon - if you like running and cycling, but don't like swimming as much (like me). It is a combination of activities which adds a little spice and challenge. Since this is off road, we like the ATT because it significantly lowers the risk of canceling or issues due to rain.

Event details are below.  Email us at [email protected] or call us at 914-357-1576 (area code 914) if you have any other questions!

Please also be sure to bring water bottles (preferably two) and energy bars or other food. We’ll have snacks available, but it is always good to bring your own.

Training: If you would like to try the route before April 16, join our RunBikeRun Meetup!

Volunteers: Run and ride marshals will be available as well as cheerleaders and water stops, but we need MORE VOLUNTEERS!!
If you are able to volunteer, please email [email protected] or call us at 914-357-1576 (area code 914)

Fundraising: We are requesting each participant raise $50 to donate to our benefiting organizations. 

Incentives/Schwag :  We will have incentives for those who achieve these fundraising levels $50, $150, $250 and $500.  We don't know what yet because we need to see how many participants we get and how much we have to work with, but if you go out and raise those amounts for these amazing benefiting organizations, then we will appreciate and recognize your fundraising efforts!!

Relay? Sure, you are permitted to team up and relay.  
 
Event timing: We are not able to time the event due to cost constraints and prefer to give as much money as possible to charitable causes. At this time, the cost for timing (especially as a first event) inhibits our fundraising goals too much. But, we hope that we are able to generate enough interest so that we are able to provide this next year! 
So, this year, let's do it for fun and charity ... next year, we can beat our personal best ... or better yet, the person running/riding next to us!!

Kids:  Sure, 14-18 are permitted to participate with parental consent and parents must remain with them throughout the run and ride.

FOOD!
We will have food and water and/or other sports drinks available at the start/transition area, various points along the bike route and finish, but PLEASE be sure to bring your own water bottle with you as you run/ride.
We will also have delicious food provided by Carolina Cafe!

What if it rains?
Event will be held rain or shine but the safety of our riders is absolutely a priority, so the following exceptions apply.
The ride will only be cancelled in the event of heavy rain which would prove unsafe.

Refunds? Sorry, this is a charitable event, so no refunds will be issued. By registering for the event, you agree to this refund policy.
