COURSES
The The run route after all the rain is still hard under foot but there are some muddy puddles in places, if I were running I would still wear my road shoes, but that’s up to you… Cycle route is in great condition for some seriously fast speeds.

Run into transition, find your bike, do not touch your bike until you have put you cycle helmet on and fastened it. Run with your bike out of transition via the exit marked with “bike out” signs. Do not get on your bike until you reach the marked mount line. Remember at this point your race number should be displayed on your back.
BIKE

Once on your bike, leave the park with a left hand turn taking extreme care as you join the carriage way. This junction is live to traffic, remember it’s not worth dying for! The bike course is on open roads with no road closures, so ensure you follow the Highway Code at all times.
DISMOUNT
Once back in the park you will dismount your bike before the marked dismount line and run with your bike to the entrance marked bike in, rack it the same place you removed it from, you may then remove you helmet. Then run out will be at the opposite end of transition marked with “run out” signs. Ensure your race number is now facing forwards.
RUN
Your race number should be displayed on your front at all times while running, exit the transition and turn immediately right and follow the marked course (flags/ arrows/ and tapes) .

The Anglian Water Duathlons offers the chance to shake off the winter and test your fitness at the start of the new season. Its picturesque setting in Cambridgeshire inspires first timers as well as those that have raced for national titles and Great Britain Age-Group qualification slots over the years.
This is a race for everyone and suited to all abilities, whether you’re at the front, middle or the back of the field we enjoy offering the big-race feel at this amazing venue. You’ll race along the tracks around the lake and woodland and enjoy one of the most picturesque settings for a duathlon that you are ever likely to race on. Both run sections take place on hard compound tracks and feature steady climbs at the outset, which obviously means you’ll be running downhill to the first transition and the finishing line. The bike course is along some of the smoothest roads. The long stretches will let you test your speed and the hill climbing will allow you to test your strength. We can predict about the Anglian Water Duathlon is a competitive and highly professional event at a stunning venue. What we can’t predict is the weather, so keep an eye on the forecasts to determine whether it’s trisuits or thermals and we’ll look forward to welcoming you on race day.
