Back again on the same course as last year.
Based in Stokesley Town Centre the race HQ is in the Town
Hall and the transition area is in the Market Place overlooked
by cafes and pubs (no mud in sight).
Start and finish in the High Street.The runs
follows an out and back route, is 90% road with a grassed
turning loop. The cycle course is all on road with just
a couple of undulations, but is mainly flat and fast. The
main race is 2 laps ( lap one slightly shorter) and the
novice race 1 long lap. The second run is the same as the
first.
Team Race. New for 2009 a
team race comprising a cyclist plus one or two runners.
No excuses for the non running cyclists or vice versa.
Electronic chip timing will be used so results
with full split times will be fast and accurate. Individual
times can be accessed on the big screen immediately on finishing.
New to multi-sport racing? You
are very welcome, duathlon and triathlon is a very friendly
and inclusive sport. You certainly don't need to be an ultra
fit athlete to to get a great deal out of it. You do need
to be fit enough to get around the course naturally, but
of more importance is the wish to challenge yourself and
be prepared for the rather nice feeling of satisfaction
and achievement when you cross the finish line. For us the
last person over the finish line is equally as important
as the first.
Many thanks John Howells and
