Organiser's description

A great course and event for both a beginner or seasoned athlete. Held at the Arkansas Air and Military Museum, the Iron Pig Festival consists of a Duathlon, 5K, Fun Run and a Bike Time Trail. The duathlon is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event that consists of a 3 mile run, 18 mile bike and 3 mile run. The run courses are flat and fast! The bike course is a out and back on scenic Hwy 71. The finish is located just inside the gate of the Arkansas Air and Military Museum, under the tail section of the C-130 H Hercules! This course is geared to people looking for a challenge, but is not too hilly for an early season test. A great first time event for an individual or team or a great way to kickoff the race season for the seasoned athlete.
