Event overview
The Central Lancashire Junior & Super Sprint Duathlon is organised by MCA Fitness & Events and takes place at UCLAN Sports Arena, Preston on 16 May 2026. The event is held entirely within the university grounds, using the Crit cycling track and the new athletics track, so there is no road cycling or running and the course is traffic free. All races are chip timed and each entry receives a McA series medal. The event offers finish-line photos and on-course water and sweets. Drafting is not permitted and helmets are mandatory for all riders.
