Terry Proko Memorial run/bike Clinic (Duathlon)
Early in January we found out my dad had cancer. I couple weeks later he passed away.
My dad was a huge supporter when I was racing and played a big part in the production of the Dirt in your Shoe and Brick House events making the finisher medals, awards and managing the post-race food.

In his memory, we are offering a memorial Duathlon. This will be sanctioned as a USA Triathlon clinic and not a race… but you can go fast if you want.
The course will be lightly marked with the Dirt in Your Shoe Run/Bike/Run course and available to ride from 11:00 a.m.- 4 p.m. Saturday, February 28th and Sunday, March 1st from 8:00:-10:30 a.m. You may come and ride/run as much of the course as you like during those time frames.
Sunday, at noon we will offer a 9:00 a.m. start for those wanting to have a meeting time and go together. This was the original Duathlons time.
This event will only have the basics (restrooms, water) and won’t have any awards, food, shirt. It is simply meant to let you enjoy the property and keep the spirit of the Dirt in Your Shoe Duathlon alive.
Entry fee covers the $10 land use fee and helps cover the cost of hosting the kids race.

Adventure racing is a team sport, so we encourage you to find a teammate to share the fun with. (*note: this is not a relay, teams will travel together for the duration of the event). Teams will consist of 2-3 member. You can, however, race solo if desired. Please email if you want to race solo

2 mile run
9 mile bike (Equivalent to about 12-15 on the road)
2 mile run following mostly jeep trails around the lake

The run will start near the boat ramp with plenty of room to spread out. You will then proceed to the 9 mile (2 lap) bike course. The bike course is easy by off-road standards. a MTB is the best option but many have raced on their gravel, hybrid, or CX bikes. The bike course is mostly jeep roads with a few easy single track sections thrown in for good measure.
The run has several memorable hills that I am sure you will be talking about after you finish.

This will happen the same time as the Sunday Duathlon. One Teammate does the run legs while one does the bike leg.
