Tri-Run Events Bring Members Together, Virtually

Duathlon and MAC Mile encourage friendly competition

Last month, eight MAC members participated in the first Spring Forward Duathlon, hosted by the Triathlon & Running Committee, as a replacement for the Indoor Triathlon typically held in March.

Participants completed a 10-kilometer bike ride followed by a 2-mile run. There were options to compete at home, virtually, or using a station set up in the MAC Outdoor Fitness Zone.

The fastest woman was Amy Henderson, who completed the 10 km bike in 14:40 and the 2-mile run in 12:58. The fastest man, David Harding, finished the bike leg in 21:07 and the run in 17:55.

The committee’s next event is the MAC Mile, which will be virtual for a second year. In 2020, the event saw a competitive field of 20 athletes and two relay teams. Runners can submit their 1-mile times between May 8 and 23. Look for more information on the Tri-Run page at themac.com.
