About The Isle Of Wight Offroad Duathlon
A challenging 3km trail run, 9km mountain bike ride and finishing with a 3km trail run.
The Isle Of Wight Offroad Duathlon Description
The Isle of Wight Offroad Duathlon will be staged at the fantastic IOW Mountain Bike Centre on Shorwells' Cheverton Farm. A challenging 5km (or 3km for the Sprint distance) trail run over downland, through copses and along ancient pathways is followed by a 20km (or 10km) mountain bike ride on purpose built trails. Over (or around if you'd prefer! ) bumps and berms and weaving through woodland, the cross country course takes in all that the centre has to offer before winding it's way back to the transition area. A final 5km (or 3km) trail run will feature even more of the farms varied terrain, giving you a tough final challenge before catching sight of the finish line. Join us on April the 22nd and experience this great event for yourself.
***Please note: All distances are approximate and may be slightly modified in accordance with the conditions of the terrain on the day.

Well done to all participants!
Well done duathletes! Tough course and some big efforts out there tonight. More pics and results to follow tomorrow.
Lovely weather for the Isle of Wight Offroad Duathlon! Sign in or register from 1700, race start at 1815!
A few pictures from the race on 28/08/18
We look forward to welcoming our largest field ever to the Isle of Wight Offroad Duathlon tomorrow!
Not entered yet? No problem - we are accepting entries on the day.
A few points for all participants...... - We are based at the farm this year - at the bottom of that very large hill rather than the top! Follow event signage which will be out on the road at the bottom of Cheverton Shute. - Sign-on any time from 1700. The course will be open from then if you would like to put in a practice lap. - Briefing is at 1810 and we will go straight to the start line for an 1815 start. All competitors start together. - Our course is a little longer than planned - more like 3.5km/10.5km/3.5km - but you will love it when you are out there and you could consider it more value for money! - Hot and cold drinks and snacks will be available at the finish. - We will award prizes as soon as we can after the last person has finished.
See you tomorrow!

Well organised, chipped time event, enjoyed the bike course immensely.
Such a great day and event. Can not wait for next year's and the next G.P event!!
Ok, time to start some proper training then.
Had a very (tough) but equally enjoyable day yesterday doing the epic distance :-) Very well organised & everyone involved were fantastic!! Thank you & Well done to everybody...see you next year
Had a great day , very well put together, lots of friendly words of encouragement on the way round which was much needed as its a challenging event, I'm glad I did it , thank you all :-)
Great tough race, well organised but with a good relaxed feeling !!
Great little event, shame the dry weather didn't last one more day as the wet grass and damp roots make for a extra tough challenge. Top marks for the cakes too, my support ate 3 while I burnt them off!
Fantastic event, friendly atmosphere, looking forward to next year!
Cheeky little event hidden away in a very picturesque part of the island. A brutal course but an enjoyable one and we will be coming back.
A fantastic event well organised and set out , looking forward to next year
Great fun, wet course made for a challenging ride.
Bike route was really good! Could have been better marked out for next time. Great event, thankyou
