53 Strong DeAthlon

The DeAngelo Williams Foundation 53 Strong DeAthlon is an annual run-bike event held at Williams Rushing Farm in Monroe, North Carolina. Now in its 6th year, the event features a 3.4-mile run followed by a choice of three scenic bike rides through Union County farmland: 20, 34, or 53 miles, each with rest stops and timed segments. Unique to this duathlon-style event is a memory challenge incorporated into the bike course, testing both physical and mental endurance.

Participants can compete individually or in teams, or opt for just the 5K run or a bike ride. The event supports breast cancer screening programs and includes swag bags, finisher medals, and a post-race brunch. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
