The Chris Brown Duathlon is a great introduction to multi-sport events for beginners. It is also a challenging opportunity for experienced and competitive athletes. The Chris Brown Duathlon includes a 5km road run, 25km road bike, and another 5km road run. The event is held at Mohawk Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The run course is fast and flat on a closed paved road within Mohawk Park. The bike course is relatively flat with only a few rolling hills along the city streets of Tulsa.
The Chris Brown Duathlon is hosted by Tulsa Area Triathletes and produced by RunnersWorld Tulsa Racing.
The Chris Brown Duathlon starts with a 5K run on paved streets within Mohawk Park. All streets are closed to public traffic. The course is a flat out-and-back. There is an aid station at the turn around and the course is easy to navigate. The third leg of the Chris Brown follows this same course.

The Chris Brown Duathlon provides many opportunities for friends and family to watch you perform. The transition area near Shelter 6 is a great place to watch and cheer participants as they transition from one segment to another. Athletes make two loops on the bike course on the main road near Shelter 6. This is a great place to see all the competitors in action. The finish line is next to the transition area.
Spectators are asked to stay off the course to reduce traffic. Spectators are not allowed to provide any aid or assistance to participants during the race. Pacers are not allowed on the course at any time. Outside support will result in automatic disqualification. More cowbell is always welcome.
Our races are manned by the best volunteers in the area. Most are triathletes, runners, swimmers or bicyclists.
