BIG Events is proud to present the BIG Duathlon 2013:
An exciting new format of races that will be run at the Hillingdon Cycle Circuit.
The day will commence with a mass start two (2) mile run which will determine a general classification. From this all athletes will then compete in an 'elimination style series' consisting three super sprint duathlon races (1 mile run, 5 mile bike, 1 mile run) across the course of the day.
Top participants will go into a Champions final to see who will take the top podium spots and claim the title of BIG Duathlon Champion 2013. The remaining participants will go into a Runners-up or Wooden Spoon final meaning that everyone competes in the same number of races. The event is aimed at novices right through to seasoned competitors. The short distances will provide a fast and furious race experience for competitors and spectators alike.
