SUMMARY:Horn Harbor Duathlon aka "Beat The Jellies"
DESCRIPTION:We are a growing group of friends who get together once a year for a “home based” challenge: starting and finishing from the Johnsons house on Horn Harbor (off Borum Creek). The route is 4.75 mile run/walk to Horn Harbor Marina\, followed by a 0.85 mile swim back to the house. \nWe’ve timed this to: 1) coincide with high tide\, and 2) take place before the jellyfish arrive in the area. \nThere is no cost – but I can’t say it isn’t competitive! \nIf interested just email: vttrunners@gmail.com. \nEven if you don’t participate in the run/swim\, come out to Horn Harbor Marina to see the transition point\, and join us at the Johnsons for post-event breakfast.
