Duluth Running Co. Announces Launch of the Aquathon Series

New Swim-Run Race Series to Launch this July at Park Point Beach

Duluth, MN, May 6, 2013

An aquathon is a multisport race that includes swimming and running. This sort of endurance race, analogous to a triathlon without the bike leg, is gaining popularity across the United States, especially in communities like Boulder, Madison, and Tucson.

The Duluth Running Co. Aquathon Series takes place at Park Point Beach near the Sky Harbor Airport. Athletes begin the race with a one-kilometer (.62 mile) swim in Lake Superior, exit the water and change into running shoes on the beach, and then run five kilometers (3.1 miles) out-and-back on the Park Point trail finishing at the head of the trail.
