Meat Pie Triathlon
Natchitoches, LA -You probably can't spell or pronounce it, but might remember Natchitoches (NACK-uh-tush) from Steel Magnolias or when Oprah Winfrey declared it the "Best Little Town in the Whole USA!" Louisianians knew about this quaint historic town long before the stars arrived. Since the 1700's it's been home to the famous Natchitoches Meat Pie, when street vendors chanted "Hotta meat pies! Get your hotta meat pies right here!" So...Don & Elizabeth continue the legend of the Meat Pie with the 5th Annual Meat Pie Tri. This race is made possible by its premiere sponsors: Run Wild in Alexandria, the City of Natchitoches, Louisiana Athletic Club, Mid State Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Specialists.
Awards will be presented to the Overall Male and Female: 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place. Overall Masters (40+) Male and Female: 1st Place. Overall Grand Masters (50+) Male and Female: 1st Place. Age group awards will be 3 deep in all divisions (Male and Female). Relay team: 1st Place.
Meat Pie Tri begins with a very spectator
friendly 1/2 mile swim in Cane River Lake. Then out of T1 up a short
steep incline onto Front Street for a 20 mile out and back ride over
some light rolling terrain. Rack your bike and head out of T2 up the
steps of the Riverbank for a 5K under the beautiful canopy of oaks along
the lake. See you at the Finish Line.
