Bobcat Cove - Hagg Lake (map)
Skip the swim and get straight into the bike and run in this challenging XTERRA duathlon. How will the Duathlon start? Duathletes will rack their bikes in the transition area, and then line up at the entrance to the transition area by race #. We will stagger the start, with 20 secs between racers. Racers will start based on race #’s. Once in transition, grab your bike and head out on the bike course.
Can I use a gravel bike?
For the XTERRA Portland Full Triathlon, Sprint Triathlon and the Duathlon, a mountain bike is required, no gravel bike. For the Super Sprint event, all bikes are welcome (except electric bikes), but note that the bike course is mostly on trails.
How will the Duathlon start?
The Duathlon will have a time trial start. Athletes will line up with their bikes at the entry to the transition area. They will be sent off, one by one, every 30 seconds. Each athlete will run through the transition area with their bike and then hop on their bike at the bike mount sign.
