So in 2011 I did my first ever mountain bike race (gisburn dirty dozen 12 hour endurance race).

In 2012 I ran my first ever marathon (Preston marathon in October).

Now I would quite like to combine both on 2013 for a mountain bike duathlons. So which ones are available in the north of England/ north Wales or Scotland?

Think I could do with a couple of months to get I shape so match/April would be best.

Anyone know of anything around that time? Have seen whinlatter but that’s not until November. At the moment grizedale seems to be the only one fitting the bill.

Thanks!

How about this?

Previously known as the Glentress Duathlon. Bit earlier than you were planning but relatively short and fun event.

Coed y Brenin duathlon is great fun.
Sadly only managed it once, fell on the 1st run, so only finished 10th. Had to work every other time since!
Greta fun event.

No Fuss have a few winter duathlons, around Fort William area. Next one on 12 January. http://www.nofussevents.co.uk/

Also, looks like the Glen Affric duathlon will be returning in April. http://www.glenaffric.info/glen-affric-duathlon.html

Thanks guys, few to look into there!

Does anyone know if there are still duathlons run at kielder/dalby/hammsterly anymore?

Going to try to run bike run on my return to the gym after the Christmas period tomorrow!

Whinlatter has one I think

Check out British Triathlon

You must be my long-lost Siamese twin?

Anyway, not quite March but 17 Feb there is the Llandegla No Fuss duathlon

I do this every year and it is AWESOME!

MUD RUNNER

Proper takes it out of you…. 10k of XC RUN then the 20k Bike followed by a cheeky 3k run (up and through a river) It doesnt sound Much but believe me ICE COLD waist deep water / mud is a energy sapper!!

ukmtbtri event at dalby was a good tough race. sadly now defunct, due to low entries i believe.

Just looked at the Mud Runner – looks good but £40 to enter!!! 😯

I did some @ Haldon forest a few years ago and I’m sure it was well under £20 to enter. Saunders mountain marathon is just over £40 for 2 days!

This is on in Stokesley ( just outside Middlesbrough ) end of march

Oops… It’s not offload cycling but you could still use your Mtb 🙂

Ooh I was thinking about the Mudrunner but didn’t notice £40 ………..sheesh 😯

Mud Runner is WELL worth it tho…. don’t bother if your very protective about your bike! it will get VERY dirty.

You sound NW-ish, how’s this one look? http://events.chestertri.org.uk/bolesworth
Might have a go myself.
