Race Guide
The Stinger - classic
Date / Time
Description
The Stinger is on of the UK's toughest off road duathlons for solos and pairs.
The classic stinger format has always played into the hands of the mountain bikers, so this year we're evening it up a bit. The classic Stinger format: 5km trail run / 20km mountain bike / 3 km Stinger run
The event will follow the traditional format: 5km trail run (one lap) - 20 km mountain bike (4 laps) - 3km painful stinger run (1 lap)
Mud, mud, glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for...wrecking your washing machine!? Average running ability + middling bike skills might just equal ninja duathlon ability. The Stinger gives you the chance to test that formula and gives an excuse to buy a shed load of new gucci sports kit for your shot at the title. The bike loop will be less gnarly than the usual Fully Sussed fare but will be a challenge to ride at speed.
If you don't fancy either the running or riding bit then the relay pairs is just right for you - one runner and one rider can share the workload.
