The 11th Annual Saratoga Lions Duathlon, an event that raises funds for The Saratoga Springs Lions Club, will be held at Saratoga Casino and Raceway on Sunday, May 24, 2015 at 8AM. Saratoga Casino and Raceway and The Adirondack Trust Company are the Premier Sponsors of the event. The event has been a tremendous success in helping The Saratoga Springs Lions Club Foundation make significant contributions to major projects and initiatives related to sight & hearing, community projects and scholastic scholarships.

The race starts with a 5k run, followed by a 30k bike ride, and finishes with another 5k run. Participants can be individuals or teams of two or three people. Area businesses can also participate with a three-person team in the Corporate Challenge category.

The Club Challenge category is for members of any club (bike, running, triathlon, etc.). Participation from individual club members will be tallied and prizes will be awarded to the top finishing clubs.

Shirts will be available for the first 300 participants and prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age category. The results will be chip-timed.

Early-bird registration fees are $55 per individual, $80 per two-person team, and $100 per three-person team until April 1, 2015. (Mail-in entries must be postmarked by that date). Pre-registration fees from April 2 through noon on May 21 are $60 per individual, $90 per two-person team, and $115 per three-person team. Onsite registration fees for Saturday prior to the race and on race-day are $65 per individual, $100 per two-person team and $130 per three-person team.
