The great history of the Desert Classic Duathlon combined with the international worldwide brand of POWERMAN takes this duathlon to another level.  A true POWERMAN challenge in the desert completely enclosed in beautiful McDowell Mountain Regional park right outside Fountain Hills, Arizona makes this a dream vacation destination minutes from Scottsdale, Arizona. Something for the entire family at the perfect time to travel from the colder climates.    

McDowell Mountain park offers breathtaking desert vistas, views of the McDowells and Four Peaks.  Camping both rustic and hook ups.  The course features a challenging, rolling to hilly, exhilarating 5k trail run loop.  Taking you on a nice rolling path using the parks sport mountain bike trail for this discipline of the course.  The bike will take you on a gradual quad grinder up to the top of the park, then flying down to the back of the park, back up and down to the transition area.  Few courses are worthy of the POWERMAN designation, this one will test your will.  This early in the season you will know what kind of shape you are in when finished.
