Event Overview
The Bà Duathlon is an off-road duathlon taking place in Kinlochewe, in the northwest of Scotland. It is part of The Bà Event Series. The event has a rolling start window.
The Course
The duathlon consists of an 18-mile off-road run followed by a 62-mile road bike ride, totaling 80 miles. The run takes place on mountain trails and involves 1,000m of climbing and descending. The bike course merges with the route of The Bà Sportive. A key feature is a closed-road section over the Bealach Na Bà, described as the UK's longest road climb. The total elevation gain across both disciplines is 3,000m.
