ABOUT: One mountain town, two mountain girls, with a mutual love for trails, races, sweat & exhilaration. And so was born Fernie’s First Annual Mountain Duathlon, in 2010. Now in its 7th year, it's a fun race for all the family, celebrating the amazing terrain and trails available in Fernie.
WHEN: Sunday September 4, 2016 @ 9.45AM
START & FINISH: Fernie Aquatic Centre
RACE INFO: Trail Running & Mountain Biking. Exciting new routes and categories this year, whilst bringing back the much loved Speed Traps, Youth Race and Classic Distances.
CATEGORIES: This year, it's Classic only! Go Solo or find a Team mate. Just Bike, or just Run. Under 14, then take part in the Youth Race, as a Soloist or Team.
BIB PICK UP: Park Place Lodge, Saturday September 3rd, 4-6PM.
ENTRY FEE INCLUDES: Cash Purse & Podium Prizes, Draw Prizes, Snacks, Beer and $5 Trails Alliance Fee. New this year, option to choose your own merch items!
REGISTRATION: Registration closes Saturday September 3rd at 12PM.
MERCHANDISE: * Please note: As it's now past August 14th, the merchandise you order may not be available. We are over-ordering to try our best to cater to all racers' orders, but it's guess work, and so will be allocating merch on a first come, first served basis, to those entered August 15th onwards. If what you've ordered isn't available, we'll of course refund you at Race Registration!
