Are there any athletic events that combine running and bicycling only?

A couple of friends and I are runners and want to take on some new challenges in the not-to-distant future. I know of triathlons, but we don't really have a way to train to swim. Is there an event that combines just the two of running and bicycling?
 
Duathlon!

The custom distance is about a 10 K run, followed by a 20 K bike ride, then finish off with a 5 K run.

It is a great challenge and is verry addicting.

However, if you can find a pool to swim at I'd definitely encourage it. From personal experience, a triathlon is unlike any other similar athletic event such as the duathlon or aquathlon. Once you start you'll be addicted!
