05/27/2010 - BERRYMAN OFF-ROAD DUATHLON UPDATE

We hope everyone is getting excited for the upcoming Berryman Off-Road Duathlon! We wanted to pass on some notes about the race:

RACE DAY REGISTRATION:
Bonk Hard Racing has decided that we are going to allow race day registrations for the Off-Road Duathlon. Online Registration will still close at 11:59PM on May 28th, but any interested racers can show up on race morning and sign up for the race. Add $10 to the late registration price for the race day registration price and there is a chance that you won't receive a shirt for the race, but you're welcome to join in on the fun!

WE NEED A COUPLE VOLUNTEERS!!
We are looking for a couple of volunteers for race day! If you have - or know of - a friend or family member that would like to come and help us at the race, we would REALLY appreciate their help! We're just looking for a couple of people to "man" a safety station on the biking leg. It would be a great opportunity to catch up on a book or magazines and have a great time cheering on the racers! All volunteers at the race will receive a 50% off of any Bonk Hard Racing event certificate (which can be used by anyone at any Bonk Hard Racing event), free race shirt and food before, during and after the race! Please contact us if you know of anyone that may be interested in helping...we would REALLY appreciate it!

LAST LAP CUT-OFF TIMES:
Like in previous years, we will have a last lap cutoff time for all racers in both courses. 12-Hour racers must start their last lap on or before 5:00PM, or the 10 hour mark of the race, and all 6-Hour racers must start their last lap on or before 2:00PM, or the 5 hour mark of the race.

WATER & SHOWERS:
There is no water at the Berryman Recreation Area, so please make sure you bring plenty of water (and other drinks) with you for the entire race! Also, there are showers at the Berryman Store, about 3 miles from the Berryman Rec. Area for racers to shower after the race. If you would like to shower afterwards make sure you bring everything, like a towel, with you. There is also water, sports drinks, soda, food (sandwiches, pizza, etc.), and just about anything you need for camping at the Berryman Store.

POST-RACE FOOD & DRINKS:
Bonk Hard Racing will be providing food and drinks after the race. We will have water, gatorade, lemonade, soda and beer for racers after the race. We have Salomon shoe certificates, Kuat Racks and some fantastic prizes from Alpine Shop to give away to the top racers at the awards ceremonies!

I will be camping at the Berryman Area the entire week before the race, so I will have very limited access to the Internet and email. If you have a question, your best bet for contacting me would be to call or send a text message to (816) 582-3102.

We're really looking forward to seeing everyone on June 5th! Please be careful driving to the race!

01/18/2010 - Registration is now open for the Berryman 6/12 Hour Off-Road Duathlon!

You will not want to miss this unique multi-sport event! Come trail run and mountain bike on one of Missouri's most famous (and fun) trails! Don't want to tackle the 6-Hour or 12-Hour course? We have an option for racers to do one trail running loop and one mountain biking loop. Want to come race but you don't want to run? Or you don't want to bike? Grab a partner and join the team division. The team division allows for one runner and one biker, and you can go continuously until your race is complete!

Assuming that there are 20 participants in the division, Bonk Hard Racing will be awarding a CASH prize purse to the winners of the 12-Hour Male and 12-Hour Female divisions! Don't wait, join us on June 5th for the 4th Annual Berryman Off-Road Duathlon!
