The Opelika Sportsplex opted for a duathlon, as opposed to a triathlon, this year due to ongoing construction at the Sportsplex. This year’s Duathlon for Kids took place Saturday, Aug. 5, for children ages 6 to 15. Participants ran and biked instead of the traditional triathlon format of running, biking and swimming. The race was a USAT sanctioned event. PHOTOS BY ROBERT NOLES/THE OBSERVER
