For the past 3 years a handful of Harriers have taken part in the Stockton Duathlon. It is very inclusive event offering a Novice race, a Sprint and Standard race. Each year it has built from strength to strength. It is a Duathlon Qualifier for national standard duathletes. Tried Hard organise it and do a professional job.
Wind and rain were forecast to make it extra challenging this year, instead the sun shone and Stockton sparkled. As we ran and cycled along the Tees over the Infinity and the Princes Diana bridge we watched canoeists and Dragon boat enthusiasts enjoying a Sunday morning of energetic sport. Fellow Harriers cheered us on. Despite jelly legs after a hard push on the bikes we all achieved PBs and ran like champions over the finish line to the applause of friends and family.
If you have never done a Duathlon then this is the perfect event to have a go or challenge yourself to a new PB or a longer distance next year.
