Where to Stay
"I want to complement you for organizing an exceptional event. I traveled from the east coast to participate in the Desert Classic Duathlon and very much enjoy the unusual course and the mild local climate." - Lee W.
"My son is an ironman competitor and I compete in small triathlons in the Northwest and we both admitted that our area events could learn a lot from your organization." - Reed & Mike R.
