Posted by SunriseWeb on May 5th, 2011 | 0 comments home title

Please note that the regular 5-leg race – RUN, BIKE, RUN, BIKE, PADDLE will run as per normal and the “double-duathlon” competitors will not be eligible for the overall fastest time prize.

This year there will be a new Double Duathlon Division in the Red Island Relay for those who do not want to complete the water leg. That’s right – NO WATER LEG if you don’t want it. Prizes will be awarded for female / male in the solo, 2-person and 4-person categories.

Beneficiaries are Cycling PEI and the Heart & Stroke.
Funds are primarily raised through the sale of raffle tickets ($5.00 each).
Raffle prizes are great and in the past have included:
- WestJet tickets to any destination in Canada,
- new Giant mountain bikes, and kiteboarding lessons from PEI Kiteboarding.
Raffle tickets are available at the Heart & Stroke office, 180 Kent St. Charlottetown, PEI weekdays between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM.

Each person racing, whether solo or as a team member, must purchase a minimum of $50.00 worth of raffle tickets (1 book = 10 tickets) upon registration. This replaces any “registration fee” that may have been paid in the past. A participant can put any name they like on the tickets, or choose to re-sell them. Raffle ticket stubs are turned in on race day.
