The Duck Creek Triathlon will make its debut this summer and is another exciting event hosted by the Village of Howard. This fully supported, timed sprint triathlon features a 750m swim in the popular Duck Creek Quarry, a 12-mile bike ride through scenic Howard and Suamico, and an out-and-back 5k run on the Mountain Bay Trail.
The event is co-hosted by charity partner Greater Green Bay YMCA and is open to athletes of all levels. Two-person and three-person relay options are available for those who prefer to partner with others to complete the different race legs. Registration is open through July 25 or until the event reaches 240 total participants.
For those who want to be part of the fun but do not want to race, a variety of volunteer options are available. All volunteers will receive a free T-shirt, a complimentary age-appropriate beverage from the Howard Commons Activity Center tap trailer, and other fun stuff.
In addition to the athletes and volunteers, spectators and the whole community are invited to watch some or all of the triathlon, which officially starts at 8:00 a.m., and then head across Glendale Avenue to Howard Memorial Park for a post-race party. The event will run until about noon and will include music from Downtown DJ Joel, cold beverages served from the Howard Commons tap trailer, coffee and breakfast goods from the Grounded on the Go truck, and Mexican goodies from the La Tacoyota Food Truck.
