Important Event Change: After 41 years of working with the Ohio Historical Society they have decided to cease hosting any sporting events at their properties due to a conflict of interest that has arisen because of their World Heritage Site designation. Therefore, we are forced to take out the bike portion of this event but are looking for a safe replacement course for future events. For this year’s October event, in order to accommodate the registered participants from previous events and in the spirit of moving forward we have decided to produce a duathlon with the same canoeing and running segments as the original event. Parking and after-party will take place in the beautiful Fort Ancient Valley at Morgan’s Lodge. We look forward to this event and we thank you for sticking with us while we examine our options for the bike course.

Morgan’s Little Miami Duathlon Series is the largest duathlon of its type in the United States. The duathlon draws participants for each event from over 25 states.
Morgan’s Little Miami Duathlon is comprised of a 6 mile canoe and 5.5 mile run in that order. After the race, enjoy a hot meal and live music provided by The Grey Dogs at our after party! We will also be offering a half duathlon course.
Morgan’s is the oldest duathlon of its kind, being modeled one year after the first Iron Man Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii in 1979, with the canoe/kayak leg replacing the swim portion. The event is made up of 2 person teams; your combined time is used in the results.
We also offer an individual/kayak division. The kayak division is designed for those who wish to race individually without a partner. Participants in the kayak division can bring their own kayak, or use a Morgan kayak. The price is the same.
In the walking division, you are still a two person team, but one or both participants can walk and be timed with other walkers. Walking division is available for the half duathlon only.
For the fall event the first heat is 9am. You will pick-up your event packets after parking at Morgan’ Livery in the morning. Parking is no longer at Fort Ancient Memorial. All parking is at Morgan’s Livery or in adjacent properties to Morgan’s Livery.
Registration fee includes your canoe/kayak and equipment rental, chipped timing and the after-party including a hot meal with beverages. T-shirts are an optional purchase. Assigned times will be at racedmc.com and no postcards will be sent.
