The Nordic Heritage Center is hosting a run/ride duathlon on Saturday, June 13. The Event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with a 5 kilometer trail run/walk and the 10 kilometer mountain bike ride following at 12 p.m. Registration starts at 8 a.m. in the main lodge that morning and the day concludes with a barbeque at 1 p.m. While the events are held consecutively, they may be registered for individually as they are two separate events.
