APRIL DU Run-Bike-Run Race

A small well-run duathlon in Middleton, Wisconsin. I personally did this race last year and had alot of fun.

Where: Pope Farm Park - Middleton, WI
What: Duathlon (2 mile run, 12 mile bike, 2 mile run)
When: Saturday, April 18th at 9:00 a.m.
Options for Participation: You can participate on your own, as a 2 or 3 person relay, or volunteer to help out.

Like always the goal of this even is to have fun. It’s an excuse to get together with friends to enjoy the outdoors! Just as in previous years the plan is to meet at the park, do the du and then eat!

Event Details: The trail run will be a loop in the park marked with white flags. The bike will be an out and back route, I will provide cue sheets for the bike route but there will be few other markings on the course.

Registration Categories: Goin' Solo - Will complete the event on your own
Tag Team - Two members team
Triple Threat - Three member team
Volunteer - If you would like to help out with any event activities.

Teams: Relay teams can consist of 1 or 2 members. Please indicate your team members' name(s) when registering. If you want to do a leg of the race and don't have a team, please indicate that on the online registration form and I will contact you to get you set up with others.

Organic cotton t-shirts will be pre-ordered again this year. Cost is $13. Please click here to view a sample of the t-shirt design. Final draft of shirt will be posted by March 2nd. T-shirt color will either be navy blue with white print or green with black print.

Important Note Please Read Before You Continue:
1. The April Du is a not an officially organized event. There is no profit or non-profit group supporting the Du. If you decide to participate you are doing so at your own risk. There will be no medical staff or law enforcement on hand. Bikers are required to obey all traffic laws and signs at all times.
2. Park Rules will be enforced. There is a strict No Dog Policy at the park and the park ranger will be there to enforce this rule. If you bring your dog he will ask you to remove the dog from the park immediately. Click Here to Register!

Directions to Park: From the beltline exit Old Sauk Rd. and head west. Turn right on Pleasant View (third stop light). Travel about a mile and turn left on Blackhawk Rd. The park will be a few miles down the road on your left.

Special Instructions: If you are competing, please arrive early enough the morning of the event to get set for the race. Due to limited parking, park officials have asked us to park cars that don't fit in the lot at the Middleton Town Hall down the road.
I hope that you can all participate in some way and I can't wait to see you there!

Best regards,
April

Another early bike race in Dane County Wisconsin to help you get in shape for the summer season.
