An interesting route- I enjoyed the ducking under branches and jumping around on the "rooty" bits!
May be a bit too challenging for beginners who aren't used to uneven terrain- but they could always walk those bits.
Amazingly good
Third time running this event
Not well publicised for runners so not many this year. Needs better publicity for those not on a bike.
a little quiet
Perhaps some longer climbs.
Low key, fun and friendly
Toughest and most enjoyable 10k event I have done.
Great route, well organised and lots of fun!
Trail run and ride with big hills and big fun.
Brilliant technical Cross Duathlon event, which I would highly recommend!
Race report:
What a fantastic #Duathlon put on by @tri_adventureuk - the Hurtleberry Cross Duathlon. The run course was enchanting, going up rocky, muddy hills, flying down rooty descents, over fallen trees, dodging and ducking, whilst winding through a mystical tree tunnel. The bike course was equally amazing - varied and technical featuring: super steep ascents, winding singletrack, which seemed crafted just for mountain bikers, berns on the bends, crazy fast descents and a section called: 'Yoghurt pots!' which was nuts! Not being completely on (bike) form and nursing a groin injury, I thought I would attack the course tactically. When the horn went off, I went for it on the run, leading the whole way round the run course. I took this lead into the bike course and led for 2 thirds. Unfortunately, my technical skills (or lack of) let me down and I was caught and passed. I tried to stay on the wheels, but had a small crash on a hidden, submerged tree stump. I jumped out of the pedals and with this got nasty cramps in my calves! Managing to shake the cramps, I went in pursuit, but he had gained too much of a gap, with the last section being the most technical. I continued my chase on the 2nd run, but couldn't claw back the time lost, in such a short distance. Regardless, I am happy with 2nd place overall. Most of all I am impressed with such a brilliant event by #triadventure - of which I thoroughly recommend to all Cross Duathletes/Triathletes! #crossduathlon #mtb #race
Impeccable in every way.
Brilliant organisation.
Great course.
Perfectly marked out.
Absolutely nothing to fault. Just a shame this doesn't attract more entrants.!
A lovely friendly event good for first timers looking for a challenge
Felt it would have been good to have some marshals out on the bike course-just at the bottom of some of the steeper single track sections just in case of an accident x
Pain and fun in equal measure
My first offroad duathlon and I'm already looking for more to do it was so much fun.
Really hard course but so enjoyable and it was all really well organised
Beautiful scenery and not too crowded
Running course very good but the bike course very very hard and dangerous in some points.
Only one male toilets also broken because the water wasn't flashing. You can understand it!!
Technical course but well organised event so see you next year !
Super Adventure Trail Run
Absolutely beautiful run with great organisation and fun friendly atmosphere. I recommend it! And I will be doing it again next year.
inspiring running and biking - if only i could look up from the pain and enjoy it.
Great first duathalon!
