Latest News

Duathlon is on this week end for kids. Unfortunately due to a lack of entries we are cancelling the adults medium and long course. 

We know that few people might have wanted to register on site but we had to make a call early for health and safety resons, and to keep volunteer motivation for next events.

 You can still register for the next race, and hopefully we ll have a few more motivated (du)athletes!
