ABOUT
THIS EVENT
* TRI
NorthWest Ranked Event - Duathlon
The Spring Classic Duathlon
is a great opportunity for triathletes to shake off
the off-season rust and for the duathlete to get in
an early season race. The event is contested almost
entirely on Marine Dr which is closed to vehicle traffic,
a rarity in the sport. (Note! The exception is the 13
residences, some of which are 2nd homes, which use 138th
Ave to come and go – but most athletes rarely see
a vehicle). There are no railroad tracks on the bike
route - just 15 miles of smooth pavement ideally suited
for fast times. The course is virtually flat with the
only appreciative elevation gain or loss occurring as
you travel beneath the Glenn Jackson Bridge. And for
the novice athlete, the sense of safety by not having
to be overly concerned with vehicle traffic makes this
event ideal for your introduction to the world of multisport
racing.
