Road Rage Duathlon, Cupid Shuffle 10K provide motivation to get outside and stay active as temperatures rise
ST. GEORGE — As winter begins to fade and temperatures start to increase, a pair of events provide opportunities for further recreation in sunny St. George.
The Road Rage Duathlon, set for Feb. 13, features a run-bike-run format of three different distances (Sprint, Olympic and Team) that will stage at Bloomington Park. Riders will bike an extended version of the paved Bloomington Loop. The run portion follows on city trails that hug the Virgin River.
“The Road Rage Duathlon is set at the perfect time to take advantage of our mild winters,” said Aaron Metler, recreation supervisor for races and special events. “This is a great event for all ages and abilities.”
The second leg of the SGR Flex Series involves the Cupid Shuffle 10K on Feb. 20. The race includes an out-and-back course stretching from Confluence Park to SunRiver St. George. During the event, runners head south on the Virgin River trail to Bloomington Park, go under Man of War Road to the turnaround and then back.
The Cupid Shuffle 10K, like the other races in the series, are COVID-19 friendly due to the staggered start times that allow for a maximum of 50 participants per hour.
“Many people have felt cooped up, with the double whammy of the COVID-19 pandemic and winter’s limited daylight,” Metler said. “The Cupid Shuffle 10K is a safe way to get exercise, enjoy an upbeat race atmosphere and leave with some fancy socks — which are a part of every SGR Flex race.”
