The bike race and Duathlon were added in recent years and have boosted the number of competitors participating. The Straight Street Duathlon is the Worlds Shortest Duathlon*

All proceeds from this event benefit the kids of the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby. The Cincinnati Derby puts 6 events a year (once a month between April and October) and involves boys and girls ages 7 through 17 in gravity drag races in home-built cars.

2015 Results by Division


 
A BIG thanks to all the participants, volunteers and spectators who braved the "not-as-cold-as-forecasted" temperatures this morning. The crowd grows every year and this may have been the largest group of runners (125) ever.

As Shout-Out to Buckeye Running Company for sponsoring again and handing out gift cards to all the runners. And the Geo. Wiedemann Brewing Co. for bringing the beer to soothe our throats -- and keeping the cops on edge.

Thanks to all who also donated extra to the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby.

We plan to work with Greg McCormick of Running Time to come up with a better timing solution for next year. Our system worked good for 25-30 participants, OK with 60 but now that we've clearly broken the century mark, we need to upgrade.

Thanks to all again! See you next year.
