Fallston Duathlon
Sunday May 2, 2010 7:30 AM
The Fallston Duathlon is an annual race dedicated to promoting the increase of local multisport events. Annie’s Playground & the surrounding Fallston area supply 17 miles of rolling hills that are both scenic and challenging for riders with a spectator friendly start, transition, and finish. Out and back 5k runs on the recently completed Ma & Pa trail curve through fields and wooded areas, while remaining on a combination asphalt/wood/cinder trail. Hosted by Conte’s Bicycles & Fitness as well as numerous first class sponsors, the Fallston Duathlon is a fun, affordable, family oriented event.
