Get ready for an empowering day of fitness and fun at the GIRL POWER - Get Moving Duathlon on Sunday, October 27th, 2024! Set in the picturesque John Paul Landing Park in Cypress, Harris, this exciting event kicks off at 8:30 AM and is designed to inspire girls aged 6 to 14, from novices to seasoned athletes. Participants can choose between two thrilling race distances: a "short course" featuring a 0.5-mile run, followed by a 2-mile bike ride and concluding with a 0.75-mile run, perfect for those new to duathlons; or a "long course" that challenges experienced racers with a 1-mile run, 4-mile bike ride, and a final 1.5-mile run.

Girl Scout Troop 109147 is collecting essential items like new underwear, undershirts, and socks for the Beacon Homeless Shelter, so participants are encouraged to contribute. With awards for various age groups, exciting post-race activities, and the chance for Girl Scouts to earn a fitness badge, the GIRL POWER Duathlon promises a day filled with inspiration,
