Course Info:
|
Both duathlons and the Wild West 8k take place in and around the beautiful town of Carrboro, NC.
NEW for 2009 is the re-location of the transition area from the (sometimes soggy) grass field to the parking lot.
The start/finish line will still be located on the track. This change will also eliminate the long run with the bike up and down the hill to and from the bike mount/dismount line.

The run course is relatively flat and fast and it goes through quiet neighborhood streets.
Theres a conveniently-located aid station at the corner of Quail Roost Drive and Hillsborough Road, which participants run by twice during each loop.
Remember, the main decision point is at the end of each loop as you re-enter the McDougle Middle School grounds. At the end of the first loop, all Wild West 8K runners and Long Course duathletes take a RIGHT and repeat the same loop for a second time. For the first run leg, Super Sprint duathletes complete 1 loop and then run towards the transition area.
For the second run leg, Super Sprint duathletes complete 1/2 loop (right on Quail Roost Dr) before finishing on the track.
All athletes will do an out-and-back on Lisa Street. There will be 2 turnaround points.
Long Course duathletes and Wild Wild 8K runners will need to run to the further turnaround point.
SS duathletes will run to the nearest turnaround point.
Signage and volunteers will be available to help you navigate the course.

The bike course heads north of Carrboro into Orange County.
This course consists entirely of secondary highways, which cover some beautiful terrain. Rolling hills and long straight-aways will make for a fast bike split.
Long Course and Super Sprint duathletes head out on the same roads, but once they arrive at the intersection of Dairyland Rd and Rocky Ridge Rd, Long Course duathletes take a RIGHT and Super Sprint duathletes take a LEFT.
We strongly encourage you to drive the race course and become very familiar with the course maps.
Directional signs with red arrows will be placed on the bike course.

The transition area is located in the parking lot of McDougle Middle School. This is a large venue with ample space for the transition area as well as a start and finish line.
