10/09/2009 - Whinlatter Duathlon - 15 November

A message from Ian Mulvey


A new off road duathlon event is being held in Whinlatter Forest Park, near Keswick, on November 15th at 10:00am.


The race distance is a 5.5km trail run, 15km mountain bike followed by another 5.5km trail run. Entries are limited to 200 and the race is expected to fill up quickly.


The event website is:

www.whinlatterduathlon.co.uk

It will be live in the next few days when online entries will be available.


The event is entirely off road & the first time a duathlon has been held at this location. Whinlatter Forest is a fantastic area for trail running & mountain biking so hopefully it will be a good event. The run routes are a combination of well surfaced singletrack & forest trails & quite hilly! The mtb (mountain bike) route is a good mix of technical singletrack & forest roads incorporating the new bike trails.


Also, I am looking for bike racking for the transition area. If any clubs have these that they could lend out for the event, please contact me.
