Driven by the love of sports.
“Racin’ the Station” Duathlon is non-sanctioned USAT Run/Bike/Run event where the participants will “race” the International Space Station (ISS) as it completes one Earth orbit. The ISS completes an orbit every 91 minutes 12 seconds. We will track the starting location of the ISS at the race start time and see who “beats” the space station by completing the event by the 91 minute 12 second mark.
Hang out near 4316 and you can enjoy music and track the ISS as it orbits Earth. (this is near transition and finish line)
