VELOPARK DUATHLON

Senior duathlon events

The events take place on the magnificent closed road circuit surrounding the 2012 Olympic velodrome in the QEOP Velopark, Stratford. The purpose built circuit is 1mile in length. Most events apart from "The Dragon Slayer" have the event format of run-bike-run, starting with with a 2mile (2 lap) first run then a 10mile (10 lap) bike section before finishing with a 1mile (1 lap) final run.

 

The event is chip timed with medals for the places in 16-19years, 20-39years, 40-49years and 50+years age bands. The event is open to all ability levels and is both an ideal venue for your first duathlon whilst at the same time provides a challenge for the more experienced duathletes and triathletes.

 

There are changing and showering facilities as well as cafés on site. The venue also has hire facilities for bikes if you have difficulty getting your bike to the venue. Please contact the Velopark direct with hiring enquiries HERE

 

The event is run under British Triathlon rules, outlined HERE.

 

Main ones to look for are "No Drafting" and "Must wear a helmet when in contact with your bike".
