Thanks again to everyone who came along and supported the race on 26 April 2026 at Tockington! Our next Duathlon is on SUNDAY 2nd April 2026, on the same course. As that one happens alongside our Try-a-Tri event, there is only room on the bike rack for 20 Duathletes, so if you want to be in on that race please sign up soon. As usual the discount code SC26 ensures you can sign up for the reduced price of 10 pounds at https://www.britishtriathlon.org/events/swim-bike-run-mini-bristol-2026_17133. If you can swim 200m, why not try the Tri?

Today's race was over quicker than any other we have held, with nobody even going over 50 minutes - a high quality field of athletes! Jess Smith in her comeback race and Poppy Oliver in her first Duathlon both smashed the short course women's record to take the top two spots over the 1k/5k/1k distance, Jess coming first in 19:59 and Poppy a close second in 22:19. Third place on the shorter distance went to Libby Williams. Over the longer distance, all six female athletes finished within a space of 13 minutes. Amy James was first woman to finish in an impressive 36:02 with Alice Baxter 2nd (40:31) and Chloe Shepherd 3rd (43:28). The men's race was also a fast one, only ten minutes separating first from last - with Jack Harris a clear winner in 34:38, Alex Miller close behind him on 36:28 and Louis Britton 3rd with 38:04.
