Law Day Duathlon

The Law Day Duathlon is a great event for families, weekend warriors and pros alike. It is guaranteed to be scenic, challenging and fun for everyone who participates. So come out and enjoy this early season race, and feed the hungry when you run, bike, run. Don't miss it.

The race will be held on the trails and roads inside beautiful Rock Cut State Park, which is located near the intersection of I-39/90 and Riverside, in Rockford, IL. Parking will be located at the Olson Lake and Beach area.

The park provides an ideal venue for this event; its multi-use trail system is one of the Midwest's finest, and the roads within the park are maintained in excellent condition.

The transition area complete with bike racks will be at the Olson Lake Beach area. The race begins there with a 2-mile trail run, followed by a 14-mile bike on the paved roads circling Pierce Lake, and is completed by a 3-mile trail run finishing back at the Olson Lake Beach area. Both the 2-mile and 3-mile trail runs will be held on the wide, grassy trails surrounding Olson Lake. The 14-mile bike will be held entirely on the paved roads in the Pierce Lake area. Be prepared for some climbing as the road circling Pierce Lake includes several short climbs and descents.

Thanks to our many sponsors, race participants will be treated to free bicycle tune-ups, great food and beverages, entertainment and product give-aways.
