Dirt in Your Shoe Events weekend
This multi-event weekend in Navasota, Texas, centers on off road duathlon formats, an adventure race that includes paddling, and trail running distances. Events take place on property at 18135 FM 362 in Navasota, TX, and use mostly jeep trails and lake access.
The weekend program includes a kids duathlon with two age divisions, a standard duathlon and a relay option, an adventure race for teams or solo racers, and trail races at 5K, 10K and half marathon distances. Many bike sections are non-technical; a mountain bike is recommended but gravel, cyclocross and hybrid bikes are acceptable on some courses.
A memorial run/bike clinic is offered as a sanctioned USA Triathlon clinic rather than a race. The clinic course will be lightly marked and available to ride and run during designated open periods; it will offer only basic facilities such as restrooms and water and will not include awards, food or shirts. Entry for the clinic covers a land use fee and helps offset the cost of the kids races.
Required or recommended gear is specified for the adventure race: per team items include pen or pencil, charged phone in a waterproof bag, and a first aid kit; per person items include food and water, bike and helmet, paddle and personal flotation device, and a pack or hydration system.
