Run Rider - The Bristol Off Road Duathlon Description
The Run Rider is the latest addition to the Bristol off road calendar and will offer the runners /riders one of the best courses in the country. Being run in conjunction with popular Bristol Oktoberfest, the Run Rider will not just benefit from one of the most fun to ride, purpose built mountain bike courses in the UK, but will also deliver a tough but beautiful running course.
The second annual event will take place on Sun 14th October 2012 and rather than offering only one distance the Bristol Run Rider will have a Standard and a Classic option – so that everyone can find the right distance and level of challenge.
Location for the Run Rider will be Ashton Court, Bristol. Easy to get to and just s stone throw away from the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the centre of Bristol itself.
So if you are a runner with a bike, a biker with some running shoes or a dedicated duathlon competitor come along and have a go at this fantastic event.

Sorry people but due to other commitments, we've had to postpone this years RunRider - if you're entered already we'll be in touch to sort out a refund and hopefully see you all in 2015 - thanks for all your support so far!
Good day at Bristol, United Kingdom Bike Fest in Ashton Court yesterday, using the same course in October too. Was nice of Let's Rock Bristol Official to provide the unofficial dodgey 80's soundtrack too (they were based at the bottom of the park this weekend).
