The London Duathlon (run, bike, run) provides a welcome opportunity for thousands of people to take part in a multisport event, all without having to get wet. The event offers two different distance options (Fun and Challenge) as well as a team relay and it all takes place in the Royal Park of Richmond. It is the only day of the year that the Park’s roads are closed to traffic and the course is stunning with hundreds of wild deer to add to the thousands of spectators. The event has a special, friendly feel to it as people are cheered on by friends and spectators alike. As with Blenheim, we have a Kids Village with various forms of entertainment for the younger attendees and a great catering village.
