Photos from the annual Leavitt Duathlon at LAHS in Turner on Wednesday. Teams from Mount Blue High School in Farmington, Camden Hills High School, Portland High School, Oxford Hills and Leavitt raced for fun during the 5K race that required a switch from classic skis to skate skis at the halfway mark.
"The main reason is to have fun, just post-season craziness," said Dustin Williamson, the Nordic coach at Leavitt and a 1997 graduate of Edward Little High School.
