ATW Grafham Duathlon

Nestled among picturesque landscapes and celebrated for its exceptional facilities, this venue offers a unique setting that caters to both seasoned athletes and newcomers alike.
The event features two duathlon distances: the Standard (10km run - 38km cycle - 5km run) and the Sprint (5km run - 17km cycle - 2.5km run). The first running segment takes you along a stunning 2.5k loop around Grafham Water's dam wall, offering breathtaking views of the serene lake as you power through.
The cycling portion is designed for speed with its out-and-back route to St Neots and back, featuring minimal turns that ensure a smooth ride without compromising on pace. The Sprint distance offers an additional twist by turning back in Perry village before completing the final lap.
Both races are draft-illegal, ensuring fair competition under British Triathlon Motor Officials' supervision for safety and fairness throughout the event. Participants can look forward to enthusiastic crowd support as they loop around near the finish area during their run segments.
