"Double Racing®, Double for short, is a sport consisting of two-stage running events.  Participants first run the longer stage, take a halftime break and then run the second stage. Times are combined for scoring.  Participants must complete both stages to get a time. The second stage starts 1 hour 45 minutes (restart) after the start of first leg.  

​There will be four Double Racing events in San Juan.  Our classic Double Road Race (10K+5K), Double 8K (5K+3K), Bob Anderson's Kids Cup Double 1.5mile (1M+Half), Sprint Double (1M+Half)

​Additionally there will be two open races, the UjENA 10K and UjENA 5K Run/Walk.

This will be a fun Christmas event.  All participants will be given a Santa Hat and a Long Sleeve shirt. 

"I loved everything about this race," says Dana Gonzales.  "Kudos to the double team for organizing such a well-run fun and unique event which is a breath of fresh air to the running community," says Bertrand Newson.
