Event overview

It’s known locally as the ‘start of season social race’ but there’s nothing particularly ‘social’ about the course! The format is simple, it’s Run/Bike/Run and entrants can either race Solo (as in any other duathlon) or choose a friend/race partner and stick together throughout the Run/Bike/Run. On the bike Pairs are allowed to work together by ‘drafting’ each other but not with other teams. The 4 mile trail run is a tough start and end to the race with a hilly 25 mile bike in between to make sure all duathletes finish with a grimace! It’s a fantastic event, an awesome atmosphere, lots of team rivalries and smiles all round. Race Soleo or grab your partner and get entered!

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
