We hope you can come out and enjoy this fun and competitive multisport event. The race consists of a 5K (3.1 miles) run, 20K (12.4 miles) bike, and 2.5K (1.6 miles) run in that order. Proceeds from the event go to support the Gulf Winds Triathletes. The St. Marks Duathlon is a USA Triathlon sanctioned race, which means all participants must hold a USA Triathlon membership or purchase a one-day license.
Race
We will have volunteers on both the run courses and the bike courses. We will pre-mark the course with spray chalk, however, in the event of rain the markings could wash away. Please review the course maps above. It is your responsibility to know the race course.
On the bike course please remember that the course is OPEN to traffic. You are required to adhere to all traffic laws and are responsible for riding in a safe manner that does not endanger yourself, other riders, or motorists. Our number one goal on the bike is getting everyone out and back safely. There will be law enforcement at the major intersections and at the turnaround, as well as volunteer support to help direct traffic. We also hope to have motorcycles on the course to monitor for safety. These motorcycles are not officials; they will be looking for unsafe conduct.
You will have a race bib for timing purposes. The bib must be worn for the entire race. You must wear your bib on your front when entering transition and finishing the race. If volunteer timers cannot see your bib, your race or splits may not be timed correctly.
At the finish line, volunteers will need to retrieve your bib number for timing purposes. Please listen for their instructions and cooperate with the volunteers.
