What is Old School Aquathon?
The 2012 Old School Aquathon Series consists of three aquathons (swim-run) races in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina.
Swim-run events have been called
biathlons, aquathlons, splash-n-dash, and various other names over the years. We like Aquathon because it is easy to say.
Our 2012 races take place at 6:30PM on Wednesday evenings in May, June, and July.
Race #1: May 23 - 800 meter swim, 2.5 mile run at Harris Lake County Park - 2011 results
Race #2: June 13 - 3 time through - 300 meter swim - 1 mile run at Vista Point on Jordan Lake - 2011 Results
Race #3: July 4 - AM RACE! 400 meter swim / 3 mile run / 400 meter swim at Harris Lake County Park - 2011 Results
