Event Overview

Set in the peaceful Cheshire village of Ashley, just a stone’s throw from Manchester Airport, this duathlon combines fast, open roads with a unique out-and-back run beneath the runway tunnels — an experience like no other!

The bike route takes in the quiet country lanes around Ashley, Mobberley and Wilmslow, offering scenic views and smooth riding surfaces. The run course is flat and straightforward, with plenty of space to find your rhythm and enjoy the atmosphere.

Sprint Distance starts at 9:00 am
Super Sprint Distance starts at 10:00 am

The event runs between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm, creating a great community feel with supporters and athletes cheering each other on all morning.

Our Super Sprint distance is designed for beginners who want to experience their first duathlon in a relaxed, supportive setting. The Sprint distance is ideal for those with a little more experience or anyone looking for an early-season race to sharpen their fitness and transitions.

Whether you’re chasing a PB or just want to try something new, this event promises a brilliant race-day experience for everyone.

Event Briefing

Arrival

Please arrive 30–45 minutes before your start time (9 am for Sprint, 10 am for Super Sprint). This gives you time to park, register, warm up, and get familiar with transition before the race begins. Our team will be on hand to answer questions and help you feel relaxed and ready.

Car Parking

There is ample free parking at the hotel venue. Normally this is pay and display, but as an event participant, parking is free — simply enter your vehicle registration number at hotel reception on the tablet provided. Please ensure you complete this step, as any unregistered vehicles may receive a parking fine that can only be appealed directly by the driver.

Registration

Bring your entry confirmation email so we can scan you in quickly. At registration, you’ll receive your race number, and we’ll carry out a quick helmet check. Once registered, head to transition to rack your bike and set up your running shoes, helmet and any nutrition or drinks you plan to use.

Transition Area

Transition is where you’ll keep your bike, running shoes and race essentials. Please keep bags or personal items in your car, as spa

Question 2

","acceptedAnswer=":{"@type=":"Answer=","text=":"

We make every effort to have chip timing at our events.

However due to the cost of chip timing and inconsistency in bookings, sometimes it is not possible.
If 6 weeks prior to an event, entries are not sufficient to cover the cost of chip timing, then we will be notifying our supplier and going ahead with manual timing instead.
This allows adequate time for the suppliers cancellation policy.
