This doesn't look too strenuous and a good way to try out these multi activity races

Pioneer Group Off-Road Duathlon
The Pioneer Group Off-Road Duathlon at The Castleward National Trust Property will take place on Sunday 4th December 2011.

The format will be the same as the very successful event we held at Lady Dixon Park in Belfast last year - the first event will be the Kids & Junior Races followed by the Adult Open Race.

This is an off-road run/bike/run race. It is recommended that athletes use appropriate off-road bikes and not road bikes. The course is a mixture of path, road and forest trail with a bit of mud and dirt thrown in. The adult event will be raced over a 3km run / 13km bike / 3km run course. The trail was built by the world renowned bike course architect Dafydd Davis and this will be the first official event on the trail.

All athletes must wear helmets for the races.

Registration on the day will be open from 10:30. Registration for each race will close one hour before the event begins. First race to start at 13:00. All competitors must report to registration before racing.

Entries will be taken on the day but these will incur an extra charge.

Adult Open: £16 / €18
Adult Relay: £32 / €37
(Adults aged 18+ on the day of the race)

Junior Open: £12 / €14
Junior Relay: £24 / €27
(Juniors aged 16-17 on the day of the race)

Youth Open: £6 / €6
Youth Relay: £12 / €13
(Youths aged 8-15 on the day of the race)

Please ensure you have entered the appropriate race category on the online system. Relay teams may be made up of 2 or 3 individuals. Adult relay, junior relay and youth relay teams must contain athletes from the respective age category only.

Event programme:
10:30 - Registration Opens
13:00 - Kids & Junior Race (Registration closes at 12:00)
14:00 - Open Race (Registration closes at 13:00)

The event is being run under the guidance of Triathlon Ireland. All participants must hold a Triathlon Ireland Licence or purchase a One-Day Licence (ODL) for the event. ODLs for the event can be purchased online at www.triathlonireland.com before 23:59 on Thursday 1st December 2011 or on the day at event registration.
