Duathlon CHANGES for 2019: We are not permitted any longer to "Race" bikes in OC Parks. As such, the Duathlon will be an untimed "fun" event with a 10 MPH speed limit. The course will be shorter and more friendly to newer multi-sport athletes. Remember you can bike and run yourself or find a partner (one runs, and one bikes). Duathlon particiants still receive a finisher's medal and long sleeve tech shirt.
The OC Dirty Trail Fest consits of mostly fireroad and some single track trail. There are a few sections of pavement. The bike portion is hilly but not overly technical, making this race a great option for new duathletes. However, the hills and terrain will also provide a challenge for even experienced duathletes. We provide safety, fun, and a beautiful and challenging course you are sure to not forget!
