The US Coast Guard Duathlon is a flat and fast course that starts and ends at the Massachusetts Military Reservation in Bourne, MA. It is sometimes windy as that can play a factor in the race. The distances are:
RUN: 2 miles
BIKE: 12 miles
RUN: 2 miles

Due to security on the base you must have a valid license with you when you enter the base! Even spectators must have a valid ID. If you are not pre-registered for the race, registration is set up outside the gate. Children under 18 are ok, as long as they are with an adult.

Boston-based FIRM Racing are the organizers of the US Coast Guard Duathlon as well as the Danskin Women's Triathlon, Rockbuster Duathlon, Sudbury Spring Sprint Triathlon, Wrentham Duathlon and more.
