2020 Miles Perret Cancer Services triathlon goes virtual

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — Like many other events in the COVID-19 era, the Miles Perret Cancer Services triathlon is going from a group activity to a virtual one for 2020.

Organizers said in a press release that the event is changing from a triathlon to a duathlon for this year. Anyone already registered for the event will automatically be transferred to the virtual race.


The Duathlon will consist of a 1-mile run, 8-mile bike, and a 2-mile run. Participants can complete events on the course of their choice, measure distance and time on a fitness tracker, and submit results to Cajun Timing once complete. Individuals wanting to participate in the virtual duathlon must be registered.
