Jekyll and Hyde Park Hallowe'en Duathlon
Central London's duathlon
The 2008 race will take place on Sunday 26 October and is part of the Triathlon London League -- a series of races in which Triathlon England London Region affiliated clubs compete against each other throughout the year.
Registration will open in early September.
The course (2007 details)
Please note that due to roadworks being carried out on South Carriage Drive we have had to make some changes to the race. We have made every effort to maintain the same distances, and therefore the integrity of the race, whilst providing an interesting and challenging course. We hope you will enjoy it!
The entire race is held within Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. The first run is along the footpath around the Serpentine (2 laps; 8 km). The bike is 6 laps of West Carriage and North Carriage Drives (19.5 km) – the course is relatively flat, but offers curves, 180 degree turnarounds and a couple of speed bumps to make for a technical course. You finish running 1 lap of the Serpentine (4.2 km). Registration and transition will be in the triangle car park on the north side of the Serpentine Bridge, with the start and finish on the west end of Serpentine Road. Detailed race information is here.
Information for competitors:
- The entry fee is £20 for BTF members and £22 for non-members.
- There is a limit of 175 participants.
- We reserve the right to restrict Serpentine Running Club members from participating if we are short of volunteer marshals.
- There is no strict time limit for completing the course, however we would expect all competitors to have completed the first run and the bike by 9:40 am. Note that the roads will be reopened at 10:00 am and that transition should be cleared by 11 am. This should be achievable by all abilities but please understand that if punctures or mishaps slow you down, we may need to end your race prematurely. Time limits are imposed by the park officials to avoid inconvenience to other park users.
