Run/Bike Events

New for this year by popular demand is a Duathlon event for individual competitors and teams. Consisting of a 5.4km run, 14km bike, 3.6km run the event will be held entirely off-road so MTB or cyclo cross bikes will be required. In the team challenge two members will be required, one to compete in both running legs and a cyclist.
The T.B.S Thetford Forest Duathlon will be held on the morning of Sunday 30th November 2008 at 11am, at the Thetford Forest Mayday events field off the B1106 between Elveden and Brandon in Suffolk.
