We have over 100 children signed up for our Donut Duathlon on Sunday 24th March So we thought we'd come up with some tips to get you through the event. Check your bike (or scooter) and other kit the night before so you have everything ready. In addition to your bike/scooter you'll need a helmet, some trainers, some running kit and some warm clothes to put on after the race. Arrive in good time before the race. We reckon 60-90 minutes is about right When you put your bike into transition practise getting it on and off the rack several…

That was where I started, simply wanting to improve kids’ experience of cycling in the hope more of them would enjoy it and want to do it again and again. As…

We’re getting lots of questions from first time triathletes. So we’d thought we’d put together some of the most common questions into a Beginners FAQ What order do you complete the swim, bike and run? (nb this is a genuine question from a beginner) You got it! That is almost always the order in a triathlon: a swim then a bike then a run. Think about an ironman triathlon (2 ½ mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26 mile run). It wouldn’t be safe to do the swim when you’re completely exhausted. I assume you have to bring your own bike?…
