Arrival
Please arrive 15 – 30 minutes before your wave start time. This should give you ample time to familiarise yourself with the transition, warm up, discuss any queries you may have with the team and use the facilities if necessary. Waves start at 09:00. Start lists will be posted on this page with your number and official start time the day before the event takes place.
Registration
Please bring a copy of your confirmation email so that your QR code can be scanned.
Registration will open around 45 minutes before your wave start time. You will be able to collect your number and there will be bottled water on hand.
If you have children in different waves to register, please wait for the appropriate time as this causes a delay for the wave currently registering.
Transition
You will have a specific area within transition where you can keep your bike, running shoes and any nutrition/hydration you require during the event. Please keep any bags or items you will not need during the event in your car. There will be no additional storage available.

Amazing course and support, everything was top-notch. Can’t wait to race again next year! Igor M
Great event, well organised and family friendly, loved that the youngsters can get involved too. Andy was really nice and looked after my youngest doing tristart when she was a bit nervous at the start line. Bike track is super smooth and a lovely ride on a closed circuit. Chris M
Good location for a Duathlon. Quick registration. Well run with clear instructions from the race director with the focus on kids taking responsibility themselves. Saraya P
First time attending and competing at a duathlon. Found everyone helpful, answered all questions. Briefing was good. Assistance there if needed at transition point. Everyone was cheering everyone on. Definitely be attending more in the future. When's the next one? Daniel W
