Train for the Sonoran Desert Duathlon with Cadoo
The Sonoran Desert Duathlon is a Sprint Duathlon in Tucson, AZ on Feb 14, 2026. Signing up is the easy part — showing up for every training session until race day is where most people fall off. Cadoo fixes that by turning your build-up into a money-motivated game: stake money on hitting each session, hit your goal and get paid, miss it and your stake goes to the athletes who showed up.

Your Run-Bike Combo training game
For an event like this, Cadoo runs a Run-Bike Combo game — a 10-week plan pitched at difficulty 4/10. It alternates run and bike efforts to sharpen both engines for duathlon day. Every rep, mile, and minute is verified (reps by CadooVision's AI camera check, distance and steps via Apple Health or Google Health Connect), so the money only moves on work you actually did.
Built for training crews like #DuathlonLife, #RunBikeRun, #DualSport.
Running with friends or a club? This one supports team mode — rally a crew, keep each other honest, and chase the start line together.
