Take on The Wall Adventure Duathlon!

The Stages:

Trail Run – 3km
The first run will take place within the Silent Valley Nature park on a series of off road trails. Running in a loop you will arrive back at the bike stage transition after 3km. The trail is a mix of gravel path and single track gravel with potentially wet and muddy sections. Trail shoes are advised. This is a beautiful run with amazing views across the Silent Valley and the surrounding area.

Road Cycle – 45km
Starting at Silent Valley you will exit onto the head road and complete the 45km course in an anticlockwise direction. You will then head to the coast and onto Newcastle before ascending into the Mountains passing Meelmore, Spelga and Attical along the way.

This is a hilly course and is guaranteed to get the blood pumping. Road bikes are ideal for this event as road surfaces are generally good and fast. Hybrid and mountain bikes can also be used. Please note that all bikes must be road worthy and fitted with a good quality front white and rear red flashing light. Regardless of the conditions, lights must be fitted and turned on.

Road/ Trail Run – 15km
The final run will take you back to the road then up into the Annalong Valley at Carricklittle. From here the course heads to the saddle between Binnian and Lamagan before descending to BenCrom Dam and then onto the final tarmac run to the finish. Trail shoes are once again recommended and there will be a mandatory equipment list including: full waterproof clothing, hat, gloves, space blanket, food, water, whistle, small first aid kit and something to carry it all in.
