SARTELL APPLE DUATHLON –

40TH ANNIVERSARY!

The Apple Duathlon is a multi-sport race held in Sartell, MN each year toward the end of May and celebrating 40 years of great races! All ages and abilities are invited to join us! Since 1983 the event has drawn as many as 500 local and world class competitors and now offers both long and short distances as well as a 5k Family Fun Run. This great event has been one of the nations favorite duathlons for many years and has been used as a qualifying event for both the national and world duathlon championships.

2022 UPDATE ON COVID-19

As we approach our race season, Active Central MN will continue to monitor the outcome of the current pandemic. We are excited to see the racing world open back up, but we are once again prepared to work hard to implement our safe racing protocol if needed to bring you these incredible, safe, and competitive events in 2022!

ACTIVE CENTRAL MN COMMITMENT TO ATHLETES

At Active Central MN, we believe in building our race community first. These times are extremely difficult for race organizations. In order to offer these great community events, it takes a lot of time, energy, and finances to keep them going. Our founding partners have stepped up in a huge way to make sure our athletes are taken care of in this time. Therefore, for our 2022 race season, Active Central MN is offering a NO RISK REGISTRATION POLICY to our racers. Again, this is only made possible by our founding partners: Viking Coca Cola, Williams Integracare Clinic, Granite Equity Partners, and Rollga. Thank you founding partners!

This means for any canceled events, you will receive free deferments to our other 2022 or 2023 events. We are here to build community with trust and respect around the race world that our organizers hold dear to their hearts. We hope this gets you excited and confident to register for our events!

For 2022 events, we will be listening carefully to recommendations from the CDC and MDH to ensure our events are safe, fun, and challenging to help bring out your best! We look forward to seeing out there this year!

LONG COURSE

This is a standard distance duathlon that is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. The 5k run starts and finishes at the Sartell Middle School. The 33k bike starts at the Middle School, heads out through the rolling hills of St. Stephen, MN, and then heads back along along the flat and fast Mississippi River Road where you will finish with another exhilarating 5k.

SHORT COURSE

(ADULTS & YOUTH 10 and up)

The short course race consists of a 5K run followed by a 15.5K Bike, followed by a quick dash to the finish line. The bike is about half as long as the full course and does not include the 2nd run. The sprint race is open to adults as well as kids ages 10 and up. Youth registration fees are only 50% of an adult entry!

APPLE 5K FAMILY FUN RUN!

The Apple 5k Fun Run gives the whole community a chance to come out and enjoy the festivities while raising funds for a great local cause. A portion of every 5k entry goes to help support the Sartell All Sports Booster Club and the great kids in after school sports as they strive to be the best in Central MN.
