Athletes it's time to get your lungs pumping!
The 2012 Dirty Duathlon and 4-Mile Dirty Bit Trail Run kicks off at 10am on Sunday, June 10th from the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center in beautiful Ellicottville, NY. Two separate events provide the most demanding, hard-core and thrilling day of off-road compeition in Western New York! All guts, no novelties-just hard core performance demanding trails including a 620' vertical climb per lap, grarly single track, roots, rock gardens and white-knuckle downhills. Sounds easy huh! Excellent, that's what we want you to think. Easy week, relaxing rides, smooth runs then reality strikes and the Dirty Du course is staring you in the face! Get ready for a whopper of a course and one major day of work! This course is amazing and promises sore muscles, deflated ego's and one amazing day of off-road competition! Go for it!!!
Enter solo or two-person tag-team for the Duathlon.
Not a mountain biker or can't drum up a teammate? The 4-Mile Dirty Bit Trail Run is a separately scored "Run-only" that uses the same run course as the Dirty Du so the Dirty Bit might be for you! (if you can hack it that is).
Duathlon Race format: 1-Lap Run, 2-Laps Bike. 10am Start.
Dirty Bit Trail Run format: 1-Lap Run that starts with the Duathlon runners.
Helmets Mandatory while on mountain bikes. A centralized transition area quickly moves athletes through their laps.
