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.

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.
