Do you have children that can't wait to become a duathlete? Make a weekend of it and enter them in the North West UK Kids Fun Duathlon on Saturday for 5-16 year olds.
The Kids event has been over-subscribed for the last few years resulting in entries closing early, so be sure to avoid disappointment and book early.
Course Maps
The event starts with the swim in one of the only heated outdoor brine swimming pools in Great Britain, followed by a one-lap 21km cycle around the South Cheshire countryside until returning to the Barony Park in Nantwich for the final run, in and around the park itself. So why not enter now and take part in one of the largest participant triathlons in the country?

HOW IT WORKS
A relay team can consist of two or three people.
Each member of the relay team completes one or two of the three disciplines in the triathlon.
The swimmer completes the swim, then the swimmer passes the electronic chip to the cyclist inside the cycle transition area.
The cyclist completes the cycle course and passes the electronic chip to the runner in the transition area.
The runner completes the run and hands in the electronic chip at the finish line.
All team members can cross the finish line together and collect their medals.
Awards
We award first place in the Female Relay Event and first place in the Open/Mixed Category Relay Event.
All Open/Mixed Category teams can consist of two or three people, male or female.
