Dear Friends,
This past August, my girlfriend and I went down to North Carolina to race in
the World's First Nude Triathlon the Bare Hare Sprint at Bar-S-Ranch.
http://queencitytiming.com/race_pages/bare_hare_sprint_tri.htm
Absolutly professionally conducted, well marked, challenging course,
chip timed, professional announcer, even a film crew with underwater
camera's (that's another story all together)....As a experienced
Ironman Triathlete .....I can assure you this thing was run at the
highest level. And "over the top" FUN!
I became very good friends with the people who invented this race,
Sue and Gary Butts.
So for 2008 (June 21st) they are having another Bare Hare race right in the
Pocono Mountains at Sunnyrest Resort (www.Sunnyrest.com).
It will be a Mountain Bike Duathlon, Individual or Teams. I set up the course myself
and it is every bit as good as Wissihickon (Phila Area Park). Course Maps are Available.
I hope you'll come out and support or participate in this unique event.

Race Info is as Follows >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Get outdoors at the Sunny Rest Resort, 425 Sunny Rest Drive,
Palmerton, PA 18071, and DO the DU.
Butts A'Runnin Race Management is proud to be DU-ing the FIRST-EVER
Clothing-Optional (Must be
18+) Duathlon in the Pocono Mountains. This event will be
ChampionChip timed by Queen City
Timing Services of Mooresville, NC and results will be posted at
www.queencitytiming.com.
**************************************************************
DISTANCES:
1.5 Mile Run (on paved roads)
8.5 Mile Mountain Bike (on mountain trails) Helmet required and must
use a Mountain Bike.
5K Trail Run
**************************************************************
+++++There will also be a separate 1.5 Mile Fun Walk on paved roads.
Finishers will receive a
commemorative medal.
**************************************************************
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
First Run: 1.5 Miles
Level: Beginner
The run will wind through the mostly paved roads of Sunny Rest
Resort, with a
challenge towards the end (Cardiac Hill) about a 100-yard up-hill run
on paved surface.
++The Fun Walk will also follow this same course and will head to the
finish line in front of Irv's house.
Transition 1:
Will be on the open grassy area in front of Irv's house.
Mountain Bike: 8.5 Miles
Level: Intermediate
2 loops on wide groomed (4 wheeler ATV type) paths, passing will not
be a problem.
Path surface is a mix on hard pack soil, rocks and exposed roots.
Much of the course
has long stretches of beginner friendly trails; however there will be
several challenging,
rock/exposed root climbs and descents. "You will know you're in a
mountain bike race"!
Helmets are required for the bike (ANSI/SNELL). All climbs and
descents will be
well-marked to give you warning. There is also a few small stream
crossings and mud
puddles, they are shallow and easily pass-able, generally just a few
feet in width. A
little mud is part of the fun!
A beginner mountain biker can complete this course; they may need to
dismount on a couple of the climbs, no problem, it's a race not an
exam. No water stops.
Course will be well-marked.
Transition 2:
Will be on the open grassy area in front of Irv's house.
Second Run: 3.1 Miles
Level: Beginner/Intermediate
The run will be a single loop on trails with same terrain as the
mountain bike leg.
2 water stops at 1/3 points.
Course will be well-marked.
When you cross that finish line, you will have completed "Du-ing" the
first-ever clothing-optional
Duathlon presented in the world!
****************************************************************
CHARITY:
This event will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
(For those who wish to donate only, may do so by sending their
donation to: Sunny Rest

This race can also be completed by a 2 or 3 person relay team. For the aspiring athlete who wants to join the fun but not tax themselves by doing the entire course.
We will also be needing volunteers to work on along the course, which would involve handing out water, guiding athletes along the course, working the transition area, and cleaning up the course, etc.
If you are interested in volunteering, please respond to the link in original post.
