From the organizers

Kids Duathlon starts at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday March 1st.

Terry Proko Memorial run/bike Clinic (Duathlon)

Early in January we found out my dad had cancer. I couple weeks later he passed away.

My dad was a huge supporter when I was racing and played a big part in the production of the Dirt in your Shoe and Brick House events making the finisher medals, awards and managing the post-race food.

In his memory, we are offering a memorial Duathlon. This will be sanctioned as a USA Triathlon clinic and not a race… but you can go fast if you want.
