If you’re a bit of a runner on the side as well as riding bikes, then this 26 mile duathlon is right up your street. The Dalbeattie Hardrock Challenge (2 October) pits soloists and pairs against a tough course around Dalbeattie Forest.
The format is a 10 mile run followed by a 16 mile ride, with most of the bike leg running on the Red graded Hardrock Mountain Bike trail. Richorn Trailhead car park will be used for the start and finish, as well as the transition from trainers to bike shoes. Running in bike shoes might be OK at the start of SSMM, but don’t try it for 10 miles…
Closing date for entries is Monday 20 September. Solos pay £10, pairs £20. Contact Graham Platt for an entry form on 01556 612518 or email [email protected].
