A Safe Place in Pagosa Inc., doing business as Aspen House and Aspen Services, will present the 16th annual Pagosa Duathlon on Saturday, July 6.
The race will take place in the Turkey Springs Trail System, and we have a race for everyone in the family. Early registration ends June 29, so register early and save. Register online HERE.
The first race of the day is the Dusty Kids Gravel Growler on a gravel road. Bring out the kiddos for a fun time. This race is a 1-mile run and a 2-mile bike.
There are two adult races for the day on single-track and ATV trails throughout the Turkey Springs trail system. The Dirty Sprinters will begin with a 3-mile trail run, followed by an 8-mile bike. The surrounding flora of the San Juan National Forest provides the perfect backdrop for fun outdoor activities.
For a more challenging course, the Dirty Du begins with a 6-mile trail run, followed by a 15-mile bike. This longer race has more opportunities for scenery, including groves of aspen trees on the Aspen Run Trail. There will be rocky up and downs, winding trails, and plenty of ponderosa pines to provide shady spots.
The adult races have three divisions: individual men, individual women, and two-member relay team (one runner and one biker).
The races are professionally timed and there will be plenty of post-race refreshments.
