I have done the event twice now. First event great and good atmosphere [think a lot of people were playing catch up post covid]. Only issue was cycle was cut short, but the atmosphere made up. This year wasn't as well organised. Issue 1Parking directions - none existent. After multiple cars driving through countryside with no direction. In the end went through the front entrance. Next year parking directions need to be clear [on website and on the day]Issue 2This year advertised 5km run 25km cycle 5km run. Neither of sectors met what was advertised. Runs were 4.5km Cycle 22km. Again this year another excuse for cutting short. In future need to match what is being advertised. Issue 4Get the start set up in advanced. The start section was blown up 5mins before. Need to get the vibes going in advance. Issue 3Advertised there will be event photos - haven't seen any comms for this and nothing on website. Again needs to be clear if part of event or not. I know might be coming off as being a nag but these are some basics. Really want this event to be a success as like the run cycle concept and location. Happy to chat through any feedback. Just give us a call.

Firstly of all, I would to say thanks for the Duathlon event, I have very much enjoyed my first Duathlon as it was such an amazing experience and I sure will be back to beat my personal best time. Unfortunately, I feel there were some issues I feel I need to bring up to your attention. I was under the impression I would receive an email with my bib number before the event but this wasn’t the case until on the day where I found out my number and I was made aware of participants having received their bib number before the event by a friend. During the transition from cycling to running, I noticed someone had taken my place in the bike rack which have made me unsure in what to do next to leave my bike for the second part of running. Maybe an explanation in what to do in event of this happening again would be useful for future event as I felt it had a negative impact on my timing for the event. I spoke to a staff about it after I completed and they shrugged their shoulders which I felt was lacking of commitment ensuring the event runs smoothly. Regards to the distance of the event, I used my smartwatch and recorded using my Strava app, it clocked the first running distance as 4.5km and second part of running also at 4.5km and the cycling distance as 22.5 which meant a loss of a total of 3.5km as I was under the impression that there was a total of 10km running and 25km cycling, can you please clarify this? Lastly, the medal I received, I must comment how beautiful it is but I feel it would be perfect if the year of the event was included as I am keen to return next year’s event also that I collect medals so the year on them would a nice touch. Again, thank you for the very enjoyable event, I sure will be back.

A lot better organised than last year - especially the parking organisation. Marshalls were excellent and the run and bike course both well marked. We will be back next year again

My first duathlon and it's given me the bug. Slightly intimidated by the sight of all the professional looking participants, but once I put that out of my mind, really enjoyed it.
