Portsmouth Duathlon Series Race 1

Wear comfortable clothes you can run and bike in. Tri shorts are strongly recommended and can be purchased at Alexandra Sports or any good sports shop. Any shirt will do but a tight-fitting shirt will be less drag on the bike.

If you are not comfortable with spandex, then just wear shorts and a T-shirt. Anyone sporting a Mohawk, Mullet, or Muttonchops will receive special recognition.

Are these races open to beginners?

Yes! The Duathlon Series is designed to be an introduction to multi-sport racing.

Can I ride a mountain bike?

You can ride a mountain bike, single speed bike, or a tri bike. Due to insurance purposes, we cannot allow recumbent bicycles. Sorry!

Can I do it with a friend?

Yes, teams are more than welcome. One person can run while the other rides the bicycle. This is a great way to start if you are intimidated.

Can my child participate?

The minimum age is 15 to do the race solo. Kids under 15 are welcome to do the run segment of a relay team with an adult doing the bike segment. If you have a younger athlete interested in doing the race solo, please email the race director for consideration.
