Heyford Duathlon Standard and Sprint - June routes
RAF Upper Heyford was a prominent airbase during the Second World War and the Cold War and racers will be able to immerse themselves in the history of the venue.
Standard:
Consisting of a 10KM run, 40KM cycle, then a further 5KM run, the standard duathlon is a real test of endurance.
The first run will take place on the disused runways with RAF Upper Heyford airbase and will be a lapped course, with athletes completing it twice.
From here, cyclist will complete 4 laps of a 10KM course and get to explore this historic airbase in its entirety.
Finally, athletes will finish off with one more lap of the 5KM running route.
Sprint:
The sprint's first run will follow the same course as the standard race, however only completing one run.
Similarly, sprint cyclist's will make their way around this intriguing airbase - completing the 10KM course twice.
Finally, the participants will finish with a quick 2.5KM run.
Given the nature of the venue, this race is entirely flat and racers will have the chance to set a quick time in this great setting.

Olly ButtonDid the Heyford Duathlon: Standard in 2019
Fairly well organised event however the course was completely soul destroying!!! Considering the amount of space available on the air base i don’t understand why we had to run and cycle in such a small area and just up and down. The runway that was used for part of the cycle was like riding on cobbles and far from suitable for road/race bikes (i think my mountain bike would have been better). Also being present for the 5k/10k/1/2 marathon day and seeing how much of the air base was used for their run routes why couldn’t they be used for the duathlon??? Unless the course is changed dramatically i will
not be returning next year. Also over priced for for the lack of course.S

Transition was on a really stoney part of the track. There were plenty of smooth parts. If the transition area is that stoney a mat should be laid.Did the Heyford Duathlon: Standard in 2018
Never been to Heyford before but boy-o-boy was this a ripper. Great day, great atmos, great fun all around- 10/10 would recommend to a friendDid the Heyford Duathlon: Sprint in 2018
Not gunna lie, this one did not get on with me. I don't think it was anything particularly to do this the organisation as I've been to their events before and loved. Just not my day I think!Did the Heyford Duathlon: Sprint in 2018
It was good but was a bit of an odd course to run along side bit like that. Kind of nice to do something very different thoughDid the Heyford Duathlon: Standard in 2018
