2nd Annual TALI Sadlers Creek Off-Road Duathlon

Event Overview

Whether you’re an experienced mountain biker or new to the sport, we’ve got a race you will find enjoyable and challenging. Many are familiar with triathlons competed on paved roads: however, fewer athletes have challenged themselves with an off-road duathlon.

Race Details

• Date: 2026-10-24
• Location: 940 Sadlers Creek Rd, Anderson, SC
• Race URL: Race Sign-up

Transition Area

The transition area will be set up in the grassy field near the main park office. You’ll start and finish each leg of the duathlon from here.

Race Legs

• First Leg: A 5k trail run that will wind through the trails going to the boat ramp. The trails are wide single track and should be a pleasant trail run.
• Second Leg: A 10-mile bike leg which will enter the trail system from the beach to the left/east of the main office. Your ride will take you along the water's edge and through the woods.
• Third Leg: A 2.5k trail that will wind through the trails going towards the boat ramp, finishing near the Park Office.

Trail Information

The trails at Sadlers Creek are mostly wide single track and you may compete with either a mountain bike or a gravel bike. There are several whoop-whoops that will be thrilling on a gravel bike yet still "du-able". We hope to see you there.

Event Costs

The cost of this event includes the admission price into the park for the athlete.
