Mandeville - JD Duathlon Series
The event is held at the Mandeville Sports Club, 431 Mandeville Road, Mandeville, Ohoka. Races follow run and bike laps on measured courses; a safety briefing is held for all events except the kids 5–9 years category.
Distances are offered by category:
- Open & Teams: 3.8/14/1.9/7/1.9 km run/bike/run/bike/run
- Novice / Junior (13-18) & Para: 1.9/7/1.9/7/1.9 km run/bike/run/bike/run
- Youth (10-12 years): 1.9/7/1.9 km run/bike/run
- Kids 5-9 years: run/bike/run on the grass within the sports grounds
The run lap is approximately 1.9 km on an out-and-back course. The bike course is flat with only left turns; the route leaves the domain access road then follows McHughs Road, North Eyre Road (narrow and sharp corner), Logans Road and Mandeville Road. Drafting is not allowed; blatant drafting carries a public penalty and a two minute time penalty.
Transition procedures require open racers to pass through transition at the end of their first run lap to continue. Helmets must remain fastened while a bike is off the rack. Additional rules include no music devices, numbers worn on the front, riders keeping left and passing on the right, and that entries may be rejected at the organisers' discretion.
Entry fees are tiered by category. Individual race and series pricing applies; teams are charged the same flat rate as individuals. Late entries within seven days of race day incur a $10 late fee. Canterbury Tri Club members receive a promo code for a 15% discount. Age for categories is taken as at 31 December of the race year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
