SPRINT COURSE - COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Sprint Course offers an exciting and challenging route for participants. Here's a detailed description of the course:

The race kicks off with the first run, which consists of 2 x 2.5km laps. Runners will start by crossing the pedestrian bridge and making their way onto the event path. Approximately 615 meters into the run, there will be an aid station available to provide support and refreshments. After reaching the 1.25km mark, participants will turn back over the bridge, returning to the run turn, and then heading out for a second lap. Upon completing the second lap, athletes will enter the transition area.

From there, participants will embark on a 20km bike ride. Cyclists will initially proceed up the event road, passing the car bridge, and then take a left turn onto the event path for one full lap. After completing the lap, they will make a left turn back onto the event road, leading them to transition. Upon finishing the third lap, competitors will make a left turn, re-entering the island, and head back to transition for the final leg of the race.

The last segment is a 2.5km run, which participants will undertake before reaching the finish line. After leaving transition, athletes will follow the designated route to complete the final run, culminating in a thrilling finish at the finish line.

Get ready to test your limits and conquer the Sprint Course with determination and strength!

It provides a fun and supportive environment for novices and young athletes to experience the thrill of a duathlon.

The race begins with a 1km run to kick things off. After completing the run, participants will transition to the bike leg, which involves one full lap of a 6km course. Once the biking portion is finished, athletes will transition again and conclude the race with a final 1km run. With all segments combined, you can expect to complete the race in approximately 30 minutes, making it an exciting and achievable challenge.

For the Novice and Tinlids Duathlon, parents have the opportunity to ride alongside their kids when it's safe to do so. This allows for additional support and creates a bonding experience during the race.
