Devon Duathlon Autumn
Devon Duathlon takes place at Roadford Lake and comprises Standard and Sprint duathlon races plus separate trail races the day before. The Standard duathlon includes a two lap 10 km run, a one lap 46 km bike and a one lap 5 km run. The Sprint format comprises a one lap 5 km run, a one lap 20 km bike and a one lap 2.5 km run. Trail races include a 10 km one lap run and a half marathon run over two laps.
The Standard race serves as a qualifier for the British Triathlon GB Age-Group Team and offers a chance to qualify for the Age-Group European Championships for 2027. Athletes must enter the qualifying race and register their intent to qualify by 5pm on the Friday before the qualifying race. The qualifying race is run under British Triathlon Federation rules and is non-drafting. The organiser advises that a time-trial or triathlon bike is fastest on the bike course.
The venue uses a 5 km traffic-free circuit for the run legs, mostly on gravel, and a bike course on quiet rolling roads. Facilities and services listed for the event include chip timing with transition splits, medals for all finishers, commentator and music, an on-site cafe, professional event photos, public liability insurance and professional first aid. Lakeside camping and camper van parking are available about one mile from transition and must be booked separately. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
