Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating day of athleticism and fun at the 7th Annual Tidewater Striders Duathlon, taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in the scenic Chesapeake, Virginia. This exciting multi-sport event features a Sprint Duathlon, which includes a 2-mile run, a 12.4-mile bike ride, and finishes with another 2-mile run. For those new to the sport, the Novice Sprint Duathlon offers the same distance but is tailored for beginners who have participated in fewer than four multi-sport events. Young athletes can join the fun with the Kids Mini Duathlon, consisting of a 1-mile run, a 5-mile bike ride, and a final 0.5-mile run.
