This free club-sponsored event combines a 4.75 mile run and 0.85 mile open water swim, and is also known as “Beat The Jellies.” It is timed strategically in June or early July – and open for anyone to participate: before the jellyfish arrive in Chesapeake Bay making the swim portion no fun! This event starts & finishes at the Johnson’s house (272 Brush Neck Rd, Port Haywood) with the transition at Horn Harbor Marina.
2020 Date for Horn Harbor Duathlon has not been determined. In addition to the timing around avoiding jellyfish, VTTR is adhering to the COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings and will determine if this event can be safely held in June this year.
2019 Date was Saturday, May 18th (not timed)
