Toward the end of August, the Minneapolis area starts to cool down from the summer heat.  Which makes it perfect for a great multi-sport event:  The Minneapolis Duathlon.

Average Race-Day Weather for the Minneapolis Duathlon on Sunday, August 28, 2011

Sunrise 6:30 a.m.

High Temperature:  77 degrees

Low Temperature:  58 degrees

The World's Largest Duathlon will have some great gear for our participants!  Something fun and very useful whether you are primarily a runner or a cyclist -- or both!

Participants get a full 'bike kit' of a jersey, hat, arm warmers and a bike bag.  Download jersey fit guide to pick your size. See the photos below that we already have of the hat and arm warmers.

Runners and cyclists are now duathletes after the second annual Minneapolis Duathlon which was held Sunday, August 29th, 2010.  This urban yet scenic course ran from Downtown Minneapolis and along the Mississippi River.  As one Fun Course duathlete put it on Facebook, "Wow! It was my first- did the Fun Course- and at 62, will not be my last."  Congratulations to all of the athletes.

While the participants were racing, spectators were in the Metro Magazine Fan Zone getting snacks and coffee and watching the event finish right in front of them. 

65% of the participants in this event had never done a duathlon before.  Plus 350 volunteers helped make this event possible. We want to thank everyone for being a part of it.  Here are a few post-race items we would like you to check out:
