RegisterWelcome Racers!
We are excited to announce a new chapter for the Heel and Crank Duathlon! This year, I am honored to take on the role of Race Director. Donna, who has done a phenomenal job as the previous Race Director, has decided to step down after many successful years of organizing and leading this event. She has poured her heart into making the race a cherished tradition, and I am grateful for her guidance and support as I step into this role. I look forward to building on her legacy and continuing to make the Heel and Crank Duathlon an event that racers love and look forward to each year!
This year, we are hosting the race in Research Park, a stunning venue that promises an incredible race experience. This run will be held in combination with The Big Run Madison, brought to you by Fleet Feet.
In addition, we’ve moved the race date to June 7th in hopes of providing better weather conditions than in prior years. We believe this change will enhance the overall experience for all participants.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we finalize the details. Our team is committed to delivering a memorable race day and will keep you updated on any developments regarding the venue.
Thank you for your continued support—we can’t wait to see you at the starting line on June 7th, wherever it may be!
