Sign up for the Sugar Land Duathlon

Due to another group needing to use the race site on the same morning, the Sugar Land Duathlon has been forced to make some changes to the event, scheduled for July 28.

Due to requests from city officials, race director Andy Stewart moved the start times for the three-wave start up 10 minutes each. The new start times are as follows:

First Wave (awards wave) -- 6:50 a.m.
Men under 60 minutes
Relays under 60 minutes
Women under 64 minutes

Second Wave -- 6:55 a.m.
Men 60 minutes and over

Third Wave -- 7:00 a.m.
Relays 60 minutes and over
Women 64 minutes and over

In addition, there will now be a one hour, 30 minute cap on the event. All entrants must finish under that time.

The race provides 28 plaques in all, $200 in gift certificates, and prize drawings for all entrants -- all for a low entry fee. The "no frills" event doesn't include an event T-shirt or bike racks, so the fee is about half of the usual entry fee.
