Our ATC All-Inclusive Junior Duathlon will take place in Narraghmore, Kildare on Sunday 27th April. This popular long-running duathlon is traditionally a fun event for every child, regardless of ability. We place an emphasis on taking part, doing your best and finishing with a smile.
A duathlon race involves a run, a cycle and another run, all incorporated into a single race. Race distances vary, depending on age.
For the more competitive-minded, This year, once again, we are delighted to report that Triathlon Ireland have assigned our event as the final round of the Youth National Series, which means individual national titles, in various age groups, will be decided on the day.
Our event has also been designated as the National Championships for both Primary and Post-Primary schools. Junior athletes will collect points for their school, based on finishing positions in their respective races. Schools with the highest points from scoring athletes will be crowned National Duathlon Champions 2025.
We will, again this year, have draft legal racing. Older age groups, from 10-11 on will take part in this exciting and tactical racing format.
As in previous years, the cycle element of draft legal races will take place on a closed 5k loop. In order to allow the event to flow smoothly, we ask that you please approach Narraghmore along the L8016 from the east as this will be the only open road on the day.
