The Brutal Triathlons & Seriously Brutal Duathlons

Sat 20th September 2025 - Sun 21st September 2025

A person in athletic gear runs on a rocky path towards a scenic sunset over distant hills. The sky is cloudy with the sun peeking through, casting a warm glow on the landscape. A fence lines one side of the path. A lone cyclist rides along a winding road through a lush, green valley with rocky mountains on either side. The sky is cloudy, and the road curves gently, offering a scenic view of the expansive landscape. A cyclist in racing gear rides a bike on a road surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills. Majestic mountains in the background are partially shrouded in mist under a cloudy sky, creating a dramatic and serene landscape. A group of triathletes in wetsuits and green swim caps emerge from the water during an early morning race. The lead athlete is running through the shallow water, with others following behind against a backdrop of hills and a clear sky. Two men trail running on a rocky path through a grassy landscape. Both wear hats and backpacks; one has a yellow cap and black shorts, the other a burgundy cap and yellow singlet. The sky is overcast, creating a moody atmosphere.
