DUATHLON 35ème EDITION

The 35th edition of the L'Entente Cycliste Neufchateloise Duathlon takes place on December 27, 2026, offering both team and solo events for athletes aged six and up. Young participants compete in a junior relay format: teams of two from ages 6 to 10 start at 10:15 AM with one lap each on mountain bikes followed by running; meanwhile, the 11- to 15-year-olds begin their race at 10:45 AM, alternating between cycling and running.
For solo athletes aged 16 and older, a challenging course awaits starting at 1 PM. This includes two runs and four bike segments with an additional team relay lap for those competing in pairs. Teams must consist of one cyclist (helmets are mandatory) and one runner.
Registration fees range from €10 to €18 depending on the category and participants can collect their race numbers beginning at 9:30 AM, requiring either a license or medical certificate for non-licensed athletes. Prizes will be awarded to all team categories, adding an extra layer of excitement to this festive winter event.
The duathlon unfolds through scenic routes that highlight Neuchâtel's charming landscapes and vibrant atmosphere, providing runners and cyclists with a memorable experience as they navigate the unique course layout.
