DALBY FOREST WILD DUATHLONS

Embark on an exhilarating adventure through the heart of North Yorkshire’s stunning Dalby Forest, where nature meets competition at the DALBY WILD OFF-ROAD DUATHLONS. This iconic event returns to Adderstone Field within the enchanting North York Moors National Park for a day filled with challenging trail running and off-road cycling.
Dalby Forest spans over 8,500 acres of lush woodland, offering runners and cyclists an unparalleled playground of varied terrain—gravel paths, grassy trails, and dense forest tracks that cater to both newcomers and seasoned athletes. The event promises breathtaking views and a thrilling mix of challenges that will test your endurance in this picturesque setting.
Scheduled for Sunday, 9th May 2027, the day kicks off at 9:00 AM with two duathlon options:
- Sprint Off-Road Duathlon: A compact yet intense course featuring a 5km run, followed by a 20km cycle and concluding with a final 2.5km run.

- Standard Off-Road Duathlon: For those seeking a more substantial challenge, this event includes a longer distance of 10km running, then transitions into a grueling 40km bike ride before finishing up with another 5km jog.
Participants will navigate through meticulously designed routes that highlight the forest's diverse landscapes. Transition areas are thoughtfully arranged to ensure smooth changes between disciplines, complete with numbered racking spots for both race and bicycle numbers.
Race timing is provided by Timing Up North’s live chip-timing system, ensuring accurate results throughout the event. Upon crossing the finish line, all competitors will be greeted with a bespoke medal celebrating their achievement, exclusive merchandise from Wild Deer, as well as refreshments to help refuel after their efforts.
For those looking to extend their stay and fully embrace the spirit of this natural wonderland, overnight camping is available at Adderstone Field on Saturday, 8th May. This option includes hard standing for vehicles or tents, along with a coffee van and food stall to enjoy in the evening before your big day.
