1) What happened with the Mt. Rainier Duathlon?!!?

The Mt. Rainier Duathlon had been going on for over 20 years. Things change over time and people’s interest changed with them. The Pinnacle Peak Duathlon will be put on in place of Mt. Rainier Duathlon.
We still wanted to have an early season event. The community had been very supportive of the race through it's life. We didn't want to leave the area!

2) Can I get a bundle discount or group/club discount on this race?

Nope. We see this race as everyone getting a discount! We're not offering discounts on a discount! :-)

3) Where can I park at the event?

This location does have limited parking, but with the maximum capacity of 125, we will have enough parking for everyone. 

4) Why can't I do this as a relay?

Seeing as this is the first year for the event and this a "Low Frills" event, we decided to only allow individuals to enter, as an age group racer.  This course will have some fast finishers. There is minimal elevation changes and most right turns. We're hoping it's a nice Saturday morning run and bike!

5) What do you mean "Low Frills"?!?

I realized that not everyone wants all of the bells and whistles, so we're putting on a race without them!  What should I expect?

You can expect the following:

• USAT Sanctioned race

• Chip timed event with transition splits

• Positive experience and supportive athletes. 

• Shirts available for purchase prior to the event. (Deadline will allow for ordering and production of the shirts.)

• Water at transition/finish; Snacks at the finish.

  • Basic snacks to refuel before hitting the road to Charley's or your other favorite Sunday lunch place.

• Awards will be given for top 5 Men overall and top 5 Women overall. These will be handed out at the finish line / when you cross or shortly after.

  • Times online will show 5 year age groupings.

• Volunteers at most corners (all the corners, if we get enough volunteers!)

• Custom made finisher medal!

BUT WAIT! What is missing?!?

• Awards for age groups

• Enough food to be your lunch

• A giveaway for every participant

• Any race division besides Age Group.

And for this race?!? The hill climb will be missing! I'm paraphrasing, but as one of my favorite lawyer-racer-participant said "Oh, thank goodness!!"

This is our first "Low Frills" event. We're hoping to offer you a good pre-season event without all the bells and whistles! Hopefully, after you pay the registration fees you have enough to cover your own bells and whistles :-D
