August 3 - Kingdom Triathlon
Derby and Morgan, Vermont, As we did in 2011 and 2012, we are running three triathlons on the same day: our Aquaman “Even Up” Triathlon, a shorter by half, Ollie “Even Up” and a more traditional Sprint. The Aquaman “Even Up” Triathlon is one of the toughest triathlons in the East. It’s a half iron level tri with a twist. It includes a traditional 13.1 mile run. But we have shortened the bike to 34 miles and increased the swim to 3.5 miles. Say, What? Yep. The course is a response to what we call the “Swimmers Lament,” that traditional triathlons are stacked against them. Strong swimmers, runners, and bikers should spend just about 1.5 hours on each leg. The course was “field tested” in 2010 by members of the Boston Triathlon Team and other strong athletes from Quebec, Massachusetts, Vermont and Pennsylvania. They loved it. Some said they’d been waiting for an event like this most of their adult lives. And the swim in Lake Seymour involved some of the cleanest, clearest water some had ever competed in. We are pleased to have four of them join us on our organizing committee. The numbers in 2011 tripled. And are now ready to open this event up to as many as 100 participants in 2013. The Ollie Even Up offers a traditional 6.2 mile (10K) run, but with a shorter, 13.25 mile bike and a much longer 1.75 mile swim (one loop) in Lake Seymour. This event is also capped at 100 participants. Because the Aquaman and Ollie involve real open water swimming legs, we feel it is important for safety reasons to limit the numbers in the water to assure sufficient support during the swim. Our more traditional Sprint involves the same distances we have offered the past five years: a 500 yard swim, a 13 mile bike, concluding with a 5 mile run. The cap on this one is 150 participants. Individual entries and three person relay teams are welcome in all events. www.kingdomtriathlon.org

Sept 14, Pittsfield, Vermont - 2013 Peak Mountain Bike Race
The 666 race, while maintaining the same gonzo spirit, has been altered to 6/12/24 to reflect the new 12 and 24 hour options. Since Pittsfield is renowned for being an ultra race Mecca, we thought it was time to step up our mountain bike race to the same level of challenge as our 100 mile snowshoe race, 100- 500 mile trail run, and most notoriously of all, The Death Race, which has received so much attention lately that its being adapted into a reality program on cable called "Unbreakable." The course will follow ten miles of singletrack which MTBVT.COM called “Vermont’s best kept secret” and last year’s winner, Johnny Bold, deemed “the coolest mountain bike trails around.” It will be a festive atmosphere with an all night bonfire and an Amee Farm pig roasting on a spit. Quebec upstart, Xprezo Bikes, will be on hand to offer bike demos. In addition to being an extreme endurance event, this will also be extremely locavore. We estimate that the average 24 hour participant will travel about 50,000 times further than the pig will. http://peakraces.peak.com/bikerace/

September 20 - 22, Pittsfield, Vermont - 2013 TEAM DEATH RACE
