October Scorcher
For the October event we’ll be back at Scorching Bay. We will be offering the classic duathlon format of run/cycle/run in Novice, Short, Medium and Long course distances. You can enter as an individual or as a team.
Note: we are investigating different (and more interesting) options for the run course for the Medium and Long courses – We will hopefully be able to clarify the run course by the first Duathlon event (on Aug 9th)
