Races will be held from 9.20am through to 12.40pm.

Requirements for the day:

All children participating in the Duathlon need:

•         A helmet (scootering and biking)

•         Suitable running clothing (house colours if possible)

•         Named drink bottle

•         A scooter for the Year 1 students

•         A bike for the Year 2/3 races (please check your child’s bike prior to the race for flat tyres, brakes and chains).

• If your child is unable to ride a bike please let your classroom teacher know prior to the race as there will be alternate course using a scooter.

• All children are required to wear a helmet during the scootering/ biking section of the Duathlon. If the children don’t have a helmet on the day they will not be able to participate.

If you require any equipment for the day please see your classroom teacher as we have some school helmets, bikes and scooters available for students to use.

The running of the event:

On the morning of the duathlon (Thursday 12th December) all students are to place their bikes/scooters on the blue tennis court outside the hall. Each classroom will have a designated area to place their equipment. This area will become the transition area during the races.

The children will be sent off in waves (girls and boys) within their classroom time.

All classroom teachers have a copy of the course and the children will be walked around the course prior to racing to ensure they familiarise themselves with the course. On the reverse of this sheet is a map outlining the course.

Timetable for the day

The children involved will be running, scooter/cycling and then finishing with a run. The duathlon will be held inside the school grounds.
