Legacy Duathlon - 4/23/2011

Race Theme: "Du or Du Not, there is no Tri" - Yoda

The Legacy Duathlon is quickly approaching!!! With less then 25 days until the season opener racers are getting excited to Run - Bike - Run on the Legacy Parkway Trail System. This course is primarily flat and straight. The advantage of this type of course layout is that visibility is high and it is a great fast course to start the season. With the additional paved trail, that was added in 2010, we were able to create two distances in 2011 a Long and Short course. The race in 2010 had a beautiful sunny day with a temperature around 70 degrees. Some people even felt it was a little too warm. We are talking with Mother Nature and she is planning on a similar day in 2011. www.legacyduathlon.com

2nd Annual Ogden City Stair Stampede - 5/7/2011

The 2nd Annual Ogden City Stair Stampede also coming up soon. Ogden City is now the official sponsor of this race. This is a unique race in that it runs the Ogden Municipal Building multiple laps until the course is complete. Times are only measured on the way up the stairs and not down. We have two stairwells to run in. One is for girls and the other guys. We will be putting everyone in by timed waves so it does not get too large. For more details go to www.stairstampede.com

Two Courses:

The Stairway to Heaven - 108 Floors (Same as the Sears Tower in Chicago)

The Mountaineer - 54 Floors

Here are some pics of the course:

Utah Santa Run Series - New Race Added!!!

West Valley, Taylorsville, Kearns & Salt Lake Communities

Last year the Ogden Santa Run had 700+ Santa Runners and the Provo Santa Run had 350+ Santa Runners. Each year these races have grown close to double in size. Because this is such a fun race for us to put on for the cities we have added a third Santa Run serving the West Valley, Salt Lake, Taylorsville, and Kearns communities called Utah Santa Run - West. Similar to the other two Santa Runs it will be tied to a parade and will require all runners to dress up as Santa Claus. It will finish at the Valley Fair Mall. It will still have only a $35 registration fee again and include a full felt Santa Suit. Registration on this event opens now.. Due to issues around the world we are having to order all of our Santa Suits now. We have more then doubled our order from the 2010 Utah Santa Run Series but in 2010 we turned away many potential santas and the new race we might eat up many of the suits so do not wait too long to register for this Holiday Event. We have also updated the website with new media, video and pictures from 2010. www.runsanta.com

Sponsor Highlight - Fat Boys Ice Cream

We are excited to announce the sponsorship of Fat Boys Ice Cream at seveal of our events like the Willard Bay Triathlon, Legacy Midnight Run, Bear Lake Brawl Triathlon - Half, Olympic & Sprint, The Layton Marathon, and Powell3 Triathlon Challenge. At these races you will find them at the finish line helping you gain back the weight you lost during the events.
