This years race will take place on the 14th April 2024
Race update 15/04/2024
Thank you all for taking part in our biggest solo Duathlon at the cyclopark. We can only take 100 entries and we where almost full.
Please find the results below. Sorry we only have your finishing time. With so many people racing it was impossible to get your splits. We don’t have chip timing as it would add over £10 to your entry fee.
Our midweek Duathlon series starts on the 7th May at 7pm. The entry fee is still the same as our first race back in 2012. You can enter on our web site our you can enter on the night.

Its making life much harder for us as we also take entries on the day.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Its going to be a big race on Sunday. We now have almost 90 people taking part.

Race day information is below.
Race run through
The gates will be open from 7.30am and Registration will now open at 8.00am in the café area. We suggest you get there early so you will have the chance to ride on the track before the race to warm up.
Helmets must be worn at all times on the track.
All 3 the race will start at 9.00am and the last competitor should finish by about 11.30am. Don’t worry there is no cut off time for the run.
The race starts with two laps 9k (or one 5k lap) as shown on the course map.
There will be water stations at the start of the second lap.
At this point you turn left to start your 2nd lap. For the Sprint you head back to the cycle park.
The GOTri is a 2.5k run. You will turn just before the bridge and head back down a bridal path.
It’s then back onto the track for a 30bike (12 laps) or 20k bike (8 laps) GOTri is 6 laps.
It’s easy to keep count if you have a speedo. If you don’t have one just time your first lap, then just keep adding that time each time you finish a lap. You will get a bit slower but you should still be able to work it out.
It’s then back out onto the second run for 1 lap again for the Sprint and long course.
The GOTri will turn again at the same place as the first lap just before the bridge.
I will be there for the first lap directing you.
When you running in and out of the cyclopark keep to the side and not run in the middle of the road.
There will be a point on the Sprint and Long course race that you will come out on to a road for 400m. Keep tight to the left. It’s a very quiet road but you may still get the odd car.
There will also be bottles of water to take with you for the second run if you need them.
There will be 2 race briefs one at 8.45 for the GOTri for everyone else at 8.50am to go over the whole race.
We will give out the prizes as soon as we can
For information and Maps off the Cyclopark go to www.cyclopark.com.
There is parking and toilets on site and the coffee shop is now fully open.
There is also a play area for children if you are bringing along the family.
There will also be water at the finish for every one after the race.
You are required to wear helmets while cycling at Cyclopark. The helmet must be worn correctly at all times when with a bike.
It’s going to be a warm day so keep drinking.
We hope you enjoy the race.
