Description: The final race in the dirty duathlon series will return to Big Hollow’s main trails and the Happy Mutant multi-use trails where racers will run and ride through Des Moines County’s newest park. This event will more than double the pleasure and fun/suffering as only a championship event can and should.

Both the ride and run portions of this event will consist of multiple loops. Each loop will include sections of dirt road, multi-use trails, gravel, and single track trails. The course will be challenging and scenic for all levels of competitor. Please note the “ish” on the distances. There are will be a few opportunities for racers to choose one trail over another. A longer and easier trail may appeal to some, while a shorter and more difficult trail may have some rewards for those who choose to try. Knowledge of the trail system prior to the race may help in the decision process.

Mountain bikes will be the only accepted bicycle. Cyclocross bikes will not be allowed. This is an unsupported race.

The top three male and female finishers will split a total prize purse of $1,500.00. This purse has been sponsored by Rick Buller Financial Services.

Age-group awards will be based on the following age groups for both males and females: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+; Co-ed relay, same gender relay. Competitor swag will include a limited edition technical t-shirt and some of the best raffle prizes of any event around.

Check-in: 4:00-7:00 pm Sept 16 at the Happy Mutant AND 6:00-7:45 am Sept 17. Body Marking: 6:00-7:30 am Sept. 17. Transition Closes: 7:45 am.

Description: 2 contestants enter with 1 bicycle. Everyone starts the race at the same time. One teammate rides ahead and leaves the bike for his/her partner and begins running. The partner runs to the bike and then rides past (leapfrogs) their partner and drops the bike at some point for the partner. The process repeats as many times as necessary for the team to complete the course. First complete team around the course (13.1 miles) and across the finish line wins.
