INTRODUCTION
DUATHLON - Dam broke...but we have a swim option for ya!
Red Rock proudly announces the Fifth year of the Nathan Tempe Triathlon. Come out in compete in either the Olympic, Sprint or Relay (Olympic AND Sprint) race. Since the dam broke we will not have a swim this year. We will be hosting a duathlon with a run-bike-run format. The runs will take place along side the gorgeous mud pit that was Tempe Town Lake, followed by the best Olympic bike course in Tempe, and a run along the multi-use path around the lake...ummm pit.
