CRUISE-A-THONg
On Saturday, July 20, the Town Park Athletic Field comes alive with under inflated egos and adventurous spirits.
The Average Jo(e) Race is a don’t-triathlon designed for the not-so-hardcore athlete in all of us. Like a triathlon, the course consists of three legs; however, this one is a bit more relaxed.
The first leg is a “cruiser” bike ride (or other self-propelled method of transportation) along the almost-world-famous Riverwalk, winding through downtown.
Next is a thong (that is to say “flip-flop”) walk along Hermosa Street toward the river access.
Lastly, take a tube float (or other flotation device) down the San Juan River.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the race will commence around 11 a.m.
Following the race is the after party, which consists of live music, libations and a ceremony to award this year’s most Average Jo(e). We will also award other not-so-average participants for creative costumes and other not-so-average antics.
