Grosse Ile Duathlon

The Grosse Ile Duathlon returns to the island on May 21, 2011 and Al Petri & Sons is proud to provide the technical support for the event again this year. Look for our tent near the transition area and stop by to say hi!
There is rich and proud history with this event going back to when Gene Edwards introducing it to the downriver community. Attracting some of the best duathletes in the Midwest and Canada. At one time getting several of Team USA's duathletes as well as Canada's elite to battle it out on those cold April dates. 

The event has switched sides of the island to a great location utilizing the Grosse Ile Airport facilities, which is a perfect venue. This is a great destination for a duathlon, racing around the island 25k on the bike and running on the closed runway of the airport. This event is part of the new Michigan Duathlon Series and Club Challenge. Proceeds from this event will go to the Naval Memorial fund. There will be other festivities going on after the race with World War 2 planes.
