Duathlon Club (running and cycling)
This is a perfect opportunity for your children to give the fabulous sport of duathlon a go! The club is tailor-made for beginners and the main emphasis is on having fun whilst learning. Duathlons are like triathlon but without the swimming! So, running and cycling. Duathlon races consist of a run leg, a bike leg and a final run.
Bike and run sessions - once a week on Wednesdays at Ightham Primary School (after school - 4:15).
To participate in the club, participants need to:
- Be in Years 3-6
- Enjoy cycling and running
- Be able to listen and follow instructions
- Be able to ride a bike without stabilisers and start and stop independently (with brakes, not feet!)
- Have a bike helmet (that fits)
- Have a road-worthy bike (with bar end plugs, working brakes, pumped up tyres and working chain and gears). It is the participant's or parent's/guardian's responsibility to ensure that his/her child's bike is in a safe condition to ride
- Be able to run ~600 m.
Payment and bookings
Places are limited and are on a first-come-first served basis. The cost for the 10 x Wednesday sessions is £65. Once your place is booked, pleased complete an online consent form.
