The Pleasanton Double Road Race Festival - December 21st, 2014

Pleasanton, CA, November 23, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Called the Double for short, each Double Racing event is a two-stage running challenge. It's running with a halftime. Participants first run the longer stage, take a halftime break/recovery period during which runners can ride stationary bikes, stretch, refuel, rehydrate or simply do anything to get themselves ready for the next stage. Times are combined for scoring. Famed runners Julius Koskei and Kelly Emmo will be attempting to break the course World Record.

Depending on your fitness level, the Pleasanton Double Racing Festival offers three unique distance options. A 15K Double, a shorter 8K Double and the 1.5 Mile Kids Cup Double.

Double Racing was created by Bob Anderson, the founder of Runners World magazine. The Pleasanton Double Racing Festival will also feature live music, food, a Santa Runner contest, Most Fit Team/Company and tons of healthy fun for the entire family.
