Balbirnie Park Duathlon

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Balbirnie Park this is the ninth event from the friendly and inclusive members at Glenrothes Triathlon Club. This year we are adding the option of a relay which will involve a team of 2 team people. One person completing both runs (5km and 2.5km) and one person completing the cycle (20km). it is an exciting addition and one that we hope you will enjoy taking part in.

The event will take place on Wednesday 28th June and will consist of a 5k run (2 x the 2.5k course), 20k bike (1 loop) and 2.5k run. With both runs set wholly within the park and running alongside Balbirnie Golf Course there couldn't be a more scenic and safe setting. The bike course is on road and takes in quiet country roads in the Star and Kennoway area before returning to the park. The climb up Langside quarry from Kennoway will provide a good test for those with a liking for climbing. Elsewhere the route is rolling but not too demanding. The run and cycle route will be marshalled.
