About the race
The Hero Hustle Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon takes place in Manchester, Iowa, at 120 Schram Drive on August 29, 2027. The event was created in 2016 to raise funds for the Delaware County fire, ambulance, and law enforcement departments. Through participant support and sponsors, the event has donated almost $100,000 to local emergency services.
The event offers sprint distance formats and includes the following distances:
- Individual triathlon: 400 yd swim, 16 mile bike, 5K run
- Individual duathlon: 1 mile run, 16 mile bike, 5K run
The swim is held in Schram Pond. The bike course uses public highways and features rolling hills for most of the route. The run course is mostly flat with a single hill that athletes run up and then return down. Triathlon entries may be completed by an individual or by a team of two or three people. The duathlon is an individual event.
The entry fee covers race entry, a race t-shirt, a finisher medal, and a timing chip. The event description states a focus on participation and fundraising for local emergency responders. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
