Aberdeenshire Council Duathlon Series 2018
A duathlon is a competition that is composed of running and biking. The usual format for a duathlon is run-bike-run, meaning you start with a run, then transition to the bike, then transition back to running again. Your time starts when you start the race, and finishes when you cross the finish line. This means that the time it takes you to switch from running to cycling and back again is part of your race time. The Duathlon distance based on each category is approx.:
•Tri Start (8 year olds) - 400m run, 1000m cycle and 200m run
•TriStar 1 (9 - 10 years old) - 1.2km run, 4km cycle and 400m run
•TriStar 2 (11 - 12 years old) - 1.6km run, 6km cycle and 600m run
•TriStar 3 (13 - 14 years old) - 2km run, 8km cycle and 800m run
•Youth (15 - 16 years old) - 2.2km run, 10km cycle and 1000m run
