This
is the inaugural event for Nick Langer and his crew.
The race venue is located just over the Minnesota
State Line in Somerset, Wisconsin. The opening 5km
run is going to be flat and fast which will keep
the pressure on the runners to try and open up a
gap on the "bikers". The bike is not quite as easy.
Like most of Wisconsin it will have a number of
rolling hills. After completing the bike leg you
will run the same run course but in the opposite
direction.

This race again kicks off the Midwest Multi-Sport
Series. The opening 4km run has a 0.8km stretch
on pavement before heading off road. The remainder
of the run takes place on the Orono Middle School
grounds and is a mixture of grass and trail. The
30km bike segment is on smooth county roads. The
rolling hills loop you around Baker Park Reserve
and through Medina before returning to Orono Middle
School. The second run leg exits the transition
area and follows the same off road path as the first
run. This race is great for those looking to do
a multi-sport event but who are not quite ready
for the challenge of an open water swim.

This
race was the duathlon national championship in 2000
and still is one of the best races you could ever
attend. This year it features new distances. There
is a single 5km run loop which is primarily in a
residential community that is mostly flat but does
begin with a challenging hill. The bike course has
both hills and perfectly flat sections., but your
challenge will likely be the wind on the rural bike
course. You will repeat the opening run for the
final leg of the race.
