How fast is it?

Faster than most US duathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 duathlon field finished under 1:01:26, against 1:20:51 in a typical US duathlon, so times here run 24 percent faster.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Typical race-day weather

Around February 27 the day usually runs from 40°F at dawn to 63°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 21% of days. Cold snaps dip to 27°F and hot years reach 73°F.
