Event Description

In 2018, Harmony House hosted the first Bill Hill Memorial Duathlon in honor of one of our community’s greatest supporters. Not only was he an avid cyclist and runner,  Bill was a powerful advocate for persons experiencing homelessness. He organized collections for Harmony House and was hands on with the homeless veteran’s center.  After taking a year off for COVID, we’re happy to bring back the third annual duathlon and honor Bill’s memory and legacy of giving. This event benefits and raises awareness for Harmony House and its mission to serve persons experiencing homelessness.

Day-of registration and check in will begin at 7:00 a.m. at Barboursville Park’s Shelter 9.  We’ll kick off the 5k event at 8 a.m., and an 8-mile road biking event will immediately follow for participants who registered for the full duathlon. Those choosing to only do the 5k can enjoy refreshments at the shelter until the cyclists finish.  Once the race is complete, an awards celebration will be held with Bill's family in attendance. 

Can't join us day of or in-person, but want to participate and support our event? Register for the virtual option and complete a 5k walk or run between September 13th and September 18th and enter your results using the results link.
