race information
Welcome to DUSTON TRIATHLON 2024
An amazing well known season starter with fabulous history.
A great event to start your triathlon season, the event is suitable for beginners and advanced athletes. This short event will put your speed to the test as you run, swim, and cycle through local villages of Harlstone, The Bringtons and Nobottle. Starting in the 25m pool, competitors will then head out on the bike course which has a super fast start with some gentle undulations through some stunning Northamptonshire Countryside. Be ready for the cheeky kicker of a short, sharp climb up in to the Bringtons. Once through this section there is a fast and flat all out assault on the senses for a real time trial feel back to transition. Into the last leg of a super fast downhill run start followed by equal up and down run circuit which again finishes with a flat finish to get rid of anything you have left ready for a welcoming finish in front of other competitors and supporters.
