Again, PVD is VERY, VERY BEGINNER FRIENDLY!!! We LOVE athletes new to the sport!!! Come one, come all!!!
Here are some reasons why you should NOT WAIT to register for PVD '19
1. The VERY beautiful & scenic courses!
2. Course selection: TWO distances to choose from!
~Short course: 2mi run~5.5mi bike~2mi run
~Long course: 5k run~11mi bike~5k run
3. Limited number of athletes!
~We will limit the number of athletes to 200 to ensure the safety of all duathletes. We anticipate the race to sell out by EARLY APRIL, so it is advisable to register early.
4. HUGE THREE INCH finishers medal for EVERYONE!!!!
5. TECH TEE's: The same awesome high quality tech tee's as last year BUT for the 6th anniversary, you will be able to pick the color of your t!

6. AWARDS:
~Just like all Scoogie Events.....we have THE MOST AWESOME awards...(but of course you have to earn it:-)

No mailing of awards or shirts. If you have to leave the race early for ANY reason, you must notify us to save your award. If you do not, we cannot hold/store awards and will likely be given to a race day entry or someone else. It is simply too much to hold/store & inventory the awards.
Note: If you are registered for this race and you registered in time to choose a t shirt size BUT you are unable to run for whatever reason, you will NEED TO CONTACT us BEFORE RACE DAY and let us know if you'd like us to hold on to your reserved giveaway for you to pick up at a future Scoogie Event. If you do not do this, we cannot hold you shirt and it will be given to someone that registered after the deadline. We cannot mail shirts.
6. Results:
~Instant results available at finish. Results posted within 24-48 hours.
~THE BEST FOR LAST:
And THE BEST part of this event....we try very hard to garner a safe and fun atmosphere that allows duathletes of ALL abilities to enjoy themselves!
