The Bridgewater Triathlon Club is hosting the 13th Annual Riverport Duathlon from the same venue as last year -- the Riverport Community Centre. The bike course is a loop over mostly flat terrain with some rolling hills in the middle. The run is very flat and fast. Chip timed, great prizes plus a post race hot meal. A great way to end the TNS race season! NO TRANSFERS OR REFUNDS. ATHLETES MUST SIGN UP BY SEPTEMBER 7TH TO RECIEVE A T-SHIRT!

Atlantic Chip will time this race.
Rules
Triathlon Canada Rules apply, including no drafting on the bicycle course.
Safety
We are very fortunate to have 30+ volunteers -- many with race experience -- on the course at all the major intersections for the run and bike. The RCMP also provide support.
The Classic bike route is a 28k loop and there are sections where you will be between checkpoints. Triathlon Canada rules say you must be self supporting ... ie: if you have a flat, you should be able to repair it. We do have a sweeper vehicle that follows the last rider and can pick up riders that are unable to continue.
Swag and Awards
T-shirts for all participants. Registrants can select their size.
Classic - Medal to the 1st place Male and Female for 18 - 29, 30 - 39, 40 - 49, 50-59, 60+
There will be a hot meal served at the Riverport Community Centre starting at approximately 12 noon.
All racers are entered into a random prize draw. Winning athletes will have draw prizes in your pickup bag.
