The Kingwood Duathlon is not the longest of races (3k run, 14k MTB and 3K run) but it is hilly, beautiful and one of the friendliest races I did last year.  Organised by the Ashford Triathlon Club in Kings Wood - it a kind of reminder why we put ourselves through all this (apart from the excuse to buy 'kit').
  

The Questars Adventure Race is 5 hours of running, mountain biking and kayaking around the New Forest visiting as many checkpoints as possible. Each checkpoint has a value depending how far away it is and how difficult it is to get to.  Needless to say it needs good orienteering skills - map reading is not one of my strongest points, I've tended to get lost at least once in each of these events I've taken part in before. 


The Ful-on-Duathlon is based at Kempton Park Racecourse. The venue offers closed roads and an excellent grandstand arena to view all the action.  It consists of the following distances: 6k run / 18k bike / 6k run. The race is part of the Triathlon London League 2011 race series. 


The Dunsfold Duathlon is held at the Top Gear racetrack - how cool is that!  I know (again) it's not my best bit of calender co-ordination, but doing the event here is just too good an opportunity  to miss!
