Description
2010 Event date will be announced by December 1, 2009
The specific date and time for online registration for the 2010 event will also be announced on December 1, 2009.
Located on the outskirts of picturesque Smithfield in the Southeast corner of Virginia this race will become one of your early season favorites. With a fast pool swim and a mostly flat bike course this race will be THE race to check your legs and see how your base training has been coming along. If you are a novice and looking to check out the sport, this is a great event. You'll feel safe on the rural bike course and will have a semi-urban run to keep you interested during the 5K of the final leg. With a 10AM start you'll be able to drive in the morning of the event and then stick around for all the post race BBQ you can eat.
This event features our signature Technical T-shirts, post race BBQ feast courtesy of Smokin Joe's BBQ and our favorite announcer Ken Berger keeping us rocking throughout the day!
