Run and cycle around the picturesque Bowhill Estate in the Scottish Borders.
A lot of you who are familiar with the series have been asking when it might make a return and now we are pleased to say it has😄.
FAQ: How long are the courses?
We get this question a lot!. The ‘Short’ races at St Ninian’s and Bowhill have a winning time of approx. 40mins (split approx. 50%/50% between bike and run). The ‘Medium’ races have a winning time of approx. 60mins (again, approx. 50/50 between bike and run). We deliberately do not talk about distances as this is a pretty meaningless measure off-road. Other factors (surface, mud, steepness, single/doubletrack trails etc.) are all more influential.
So, if you’re a speedy racing snake, you’ll be finishing in around 40/60mins. If you’re back of the pack, that will generally be 80/120mins. Everyone else is somewhere in between.
Join us for the Complete Duathlon Series
Kick off 2024 in style with a series of 4 Duathlon Events taking place in 2 stunning locations, we will have 2 events at the picturesque Bowhill Estate near Selkirk in the Scottish Borders and 2 events at the stunning St Ninians site near Dunfermline
These relaxed events are open to all and the format is usually Mountain Bike followed by Trail Run, sometimes the other way round or possibly Run-Bike-Run. What the races always are though is muddy, a bit hilly and a lot of fun. Trust us, Bowhill & St Ninians will CERTAINLY not disappoint in any of these departments!.
They’re very newcomer friendly and relaxed, but can also offer a stiff challenge if you’re wanting to try and go quick. We welcome newbies to internationalists, triathletes, runners, bikers, and people who just like to do ‘stuff’. Come and have a go. These events will keep your racing/training motivation going over the long winter months.
