The Cirencester Off-Road Duathlons take place in Cirencester Park which is part of the Bathurst Estate. The venue is close to the centre of the Cotswold town of Cirencester, situated between Gloucester and Swindon on the A417/A419. The Earl Lord Bathurst has kindly let us use a quiet area of this beautiful park for this event. There are toilets and running water available on site, but no showers. Mountain biking is not usually allowed on the Bathurst Estate so please do not ride in the park prior to the event.

Events

The Long Event and the Relay consists of a 2 mile cross country run (all off road) followed by a 10 mile MTB bike (all off-road) and finishes with a second 2 mile cross country run. Minimum age for entry is 17 years as at 31 December 2010. The relay event is based on a team of one runner and one rider and these teams can be either male, female or mixed.

The Short Event consists of a 1 mile cross country run (all off road) followed by a 5 mile MTB bike (all off-road) and finishes with a second 1 mile cross country run. Minimum age for entry is 14 years as at 31 December 2010. (Click the images for a bigger picture.)

Course (Two Lap Bike Course - as November 09)

The run is a two lap route run on grass and wooded trails (the short event does one lap). The bike ride is two laps of an undulating, wooded trail with a grass section at the end of each lap (the short event does one laps). The final run is over the same course as the first run. In both events the emphasis is on FUN but the long event is tough, so it is recommended that first time MTB competitors choose the short event.
