TrailX Duathlon New Forest

Can I have a go?

Absolutely…Everyone is welcome at TrailX. It doesn’t matter whether this is your first race or you’re a seasoned pro. The courses are designed to be challenging both technically and physically but really accessible so go as fast as you like and enjoy your TrailX.

What kit/equipment do I need?

All of the TrailX events are off road so you will need grippy running shoes (ideally trail shoes), and a mountain bike. You can ride any pedal powered off-bike (e-bikes are not permitted), including Gravel or Cyclocross bikes but you will only be eligible for British Triathlon National Age Group Team selection if you ride a mountain bike. The course can be rough in sections so a mountain bike will be a lot more fun – and faster too, so if you have one available. For more information check out the FAQs and Rules below. As for what you wear, it’s up to you – just needs to be something that you can comfortably run and ride in.

Can I practice before I race?

Yes! We would encourage you to use the bike course to warm up so you’re ready for it! Each venue is different with unique features and challenges so a practice lap is always recommended.

Registration & Transition

Registration will open from the time confirmed in your pre race email and will close 15 minutes before the start of your race. The mountain bike course will be open for practice for at least 1hr30 before your race, please allow 20-30 minutes for a lap. Your bike must be in transition by at least 20 minutes before your race is scheduled to start (see event details) and you must have signed on at registration before racking your bike. Only your bike, helmet, and cycling shoes (if applicable) can be placed in transition.

When is the Race briefing?

The race director will carry out a briefing at the transition area 15 minutes before the start of each race and will walk to the start line with you, during this time please ask any questions that you have. It is compulsory that you attend the briefing.
