Manchester Airport Duathlon
The Manchester Airport Duathlon is a multisport event held at the Airport Inn, Altrincham Road, Wilmslow, Manchester SK9 4LR, organised by McA Fitness. The event uses quiet country lanes around Ashley, Mobberley and Wilmslow for the bike leg and a flat, out-and-back run course that passes beneath the runway tunnels near Manchester Airport. The course is fully signposted and marshalled, and the finish area provides water and sweets.
Transition is a marked, marshalled area where athletes rack bikes and set out running shoes and kit; space in transition is limited and participants are asked to keep personal bags in their vehicles. Mount and dismount lines are marked outside transition and bikes must not be ridden inside the transition area. All riders must wear a fastened helmet before touching their bike. The event may use staggered mass starts to keep groups small and the course flowing.
The event offers two distances:
- Sprint
- Super Sprint for first timers
Facilities noted by the organiser include ample free parking for participants at the hotel venue when the vehicle registration is recorded, on-site registration and a pre-race briefing. The atmosphere is described as welcoming to people new to multisport while remaining organised for those with experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
