The Triple D Winter Race Will Go Forward, January 23rd, With Modifications

Posted Monday, November 9, 2020 3:37 pm

The Story

The first thing you need to know about the race – it is a bit of a circus… but that is by design! As you traverse the scenic route by bike or by foot, you’ll receive little support. Whether you’re juggling water bottles as you skate down Heritage Trail, or balancing a tight-rope as you cross a thin bridge on the bike route, there is something for outdoor enthusiasts of all ability levels at the Triple D Winter Race!

All Triple D Race events include:

70-Mile Endurance Bike Race

35-Mile Bike Race

Poker Tour, for those who want to enjoy a slightly shorter ride with more food and drink

Ultra Marathon

Full Marathon

Half Marathon

5k stroll to get out of the house on a winter day

Important: Safety Changes for 2021 Race

This event is a circus, and the pandemic only adds to our chaos. In order to keep our event alive, we had the tough decision to make some changes to the event so that we could still safely get everyone out on the trail to enjoy the winter. Here are the changes from our normal event:

No Poker Tour

No 70-mile bike, ultra- or full-marathon (we will not have access to the mandatory stops for support/fueling)

No pre-race packet pickup or gathering

No sponsor hotel

No post-race awards party

Both bike and run start and finish at the Durango Trailhead (outdoor headquarters)

Reduced registration price

Maps will be made available digitally

Masks will be required at the start line

We know, we're as bummed as you are about the endurance events. They make this circus what it is! Hopefully

we'll be back at it next year! For now, sign up for the events we're offering and keep the circus alive!

NOTE: All races, bike and run, will be headquartered at the

Durango Trailhead (Heritage Trail) outdoors, for safety.

The Triple D Winter Race is a winter endurance trail event that traverses Dubuque County, Iowa in the

dead of winter by bike or foot.
