Aid and Support


BIKE

World's Toughest Half and Long Course Duathlon athletes will enjoy four aid stations on the 56-mile bike route. Bike aid stations will feature real bike water bottles filled with ice cold water and Cytomax energy drink. We will also have Clif Shot energy gel and Clif Blok.

  • Mile 13.6 at top of a short climb just beyond Bell Rd
  • Mile 21.3 at I-80 and W. Paoli Rd outbound
  • Mile 36.8 at I-80 and W. Paoli Rd homebound
  • Mile 50.4 at the top of "LeMond walked" climb before Bell Rd

No bike aid for International 40k racers! 40k riders will pass by the first/ last aid station of the 56-mile route. We expect you to carry your own water and fuel for the 40k course. We ask you to respect your fellow athletes in the long course and refrain from taking aid earmarked for this event. If you are at mile 20 of the International course, in distress and really need some aid, please take some by all means as we will naturally have some extra for this eventuality.
