Derbyshire Duathlon

The Midi tackles a hilly 24km bike course on tarmac roads, with a significant climb out of Wirksworth that will test you.

The Standard bike course has been updated to a single lap of 40km and continues straight on at Wirksworth, down in to Cromford before taking the beautiful ViaGella road and the stunning lanes around Brassington before heading back to transition from Carsington village. Possibly one of the most beautiful bike legs you’ll ever ride.

The 4k run is a flat out and back run across the dam wall with a well-marshalled turnaround point.

Standard – 12k run – 40k bike – 4k run

Midi – 4k run – 24k bike – 4k run
