DUATHLON 49 — ALL ENGINE, NO WATER REQUIRED
If swimming isn’t your thing — or you just prefer keeping your heart rate high and your hair dry — the Duathlon 49 is built exactly for you. Two disciplines, one fierce test of fitness, and zero excuses.
This event is all about speed, strength, and smooth transitions. You’ll hit the bike straight out of the gate, settle into your rhythm, and then switch gears (literally and figuratively) for a run that rewards strong legs and smart pacing.
But don’t think this one’s just for the “no-swim crew.” Duathlons are legendary for sharpening race skills — especially for athletes chasing long-distance goals or anyone wanting to dial in that bike-to-run combo.
Where triathlons split athletes early in the water, the Duathlon 49 keeps everyone together from the start. Your real move happens on the run — that’s where you separate yourself, surge past rivals, and hit the finish with nothing left in the tank.
You’ll get plenty of help along the way too, with well-placed aid stations on each run loop to keep you fuelled and firing.
Non-drafting rules apply — clean racing, honest riding, and results you can be proud of.
Distances:
- Bike: 40 km - ( 1 short lap + 2 long laps of 16km)
- Run: 9 km - ( 2 laps of a 4.5km course)
Short, sharp, and guaranteed to light up your legs — that’s the Duathlon 49.
