Faster than most US duathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 duathlon field finished under 1:03:24, against 1:20:51 in a typical US duathlon, so times here run 22 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.
