From the Organizer
“Racin’ the Station” Duathlon is a non-sanctioned USAT Run/Bike/Run event where the
participants will “race” the International Space Station (ISS) as it completes one Earth
orbit—91 minutes & 12 seconds. Marshall Space Flight Center will track the starting
location of the ISS at the race start time and see who “beats” the Space Station by
completing the event before the 91-minute & 12-second mark.
Run pi = 3.14 km = 1.95 miles
Bike e^pi = 23 km = 14.3 miles
Run pi = 3.14 km = 1.95 miles
Race starts at 8:15am on Saturday, October 10th, 2026. Race is located on the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL where NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is also located. Only US citizens are allowed on the Arsenal (unless already badged for official business). Locals that do NOT have access are encouraged to get a recreation badge (rec badge) through the Army (weeks in advance). Those that don't have access to military bases will either have to be escorted by someone who does have access (ride with another racer or spectator) or the race director will work access for you through the security process described during registration.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
With duathlon, two disciplines push you in completely different ways. Duathlon rewards athletes who refuse to specialize — and if you've ever wanted to know what your legs can do after an all-out bike leg, this is your sport.
Duathlon
Run, bike, run. The multi-sport format without the swim — a great bridge between running and triathlon.
