The triathlon and multi sport season may be drawing to a close but the final Triathlon England Championships is yet to take place. The Evil Sheriff Off Road Duathlon will double as the National Cross Duathlon Championships is all set for competitors of all abilitities and is still accepting entries.

 

Cross duathlon involves off road running and cycling using a mountain bike. The stunning venue at Sherwood Pines is a regular for off road cycling events, and the duathlon covers a 5km run, 20km bike and final 3.6km run to finish.

 

Competitors aiming for national titles need to ride a mountain bike and be a member of Triathlon England (29” tyres are permitted). Athletes wishing to ride cross or hybrid bikes can still take part in the open race but won’t be eligible for national titles.

 

Organisers, One Step Beyond, are expecting a field of around 700 athletes and are staging a 10km run after the duathlon, aimed at supporters and family members. Entries are open until 9am on Monday 3 November. Subject to places still being available, further entries will be taken on the day, with an additional £5 fee. Payment on the day is cash only.
