Overview

The Donut Duathlon takes advantage of the Torbay Velopark to offer a fast, flat and completely traffic free duathlon course. Ideal for all ages & for beginners and seasoned athletes alike, the Donut will help kick start your season with a flat parkland run, a fast ride on the smooth tarmac of the Velopark followed by a shorter run to finish.

The Donut Duathlon is very family friendly. We offer shorter distances for children aged 3 and above in the morning & the main Sprint race in the afternoon. And our brand new Flapjack 5K takes places one hour before the Donut at the same venue.

And there’s a Supersprint/Novice event for those new to the sport or who prefer a shorter race.

Medals and donuts for all finishers whichever race they’re doing! For this event any roadworthy bike will do: MTBs, hybrids or road bikes are all fine. All races are now non drafting. See our FAQs below for more information.

EVENT INFORMATION

Frequently Asked Questions

Parking

There is plenty of parking in the Leisure Centre car park but you do need to pay for it!

We’ve made a special arrangement with Torbay Council so that you will pay a maximum of £5.50 to park for the day. Just pay £5.50 at the machines or app & then collect a voucher from reception in the Leisure Centre which must be displayed on your windscreen.

Please note some of the council parking attendants are a little over-zealous. So make sure a bike rack, if fitted, is not overhanging the end of the parking bay or you may get a ticket.

Medals & awards

There is a medal for all finishers.

In addition we have podium medals for the Top 3 overall in each of the following categories.
Please note we operate a one prize per person policy. So if a vet is the overall winner they will get that medal & prize & the other Vet 40s will move up one place.

Sprint Awards: Top 3 overall, Top 3 Vet 40 male & female, Top 3 Vet 50 male & female, Top 60 Top 3 male & female.
Tristar categories: Top 3 boys & girls in each category. We also award special medals to Top 3 novices in the 8-10 age group & in the 11-14 age group.
