The Parbold Duathlon takes place from the Farmer’s Arms public house in Hildale near Parbold and It has become a North West classic. It’s one of the oldest events on the calendar and limited to only 150 competitors. The 5k run is a 2 loop course on undulating roads and the 18 mile cycle route is a 3 lap course which means climbing Parbold Hill 3 times, once on each lap. The atmosphere is always great, it has a ‘local feel’ and the racing always attracts a range of novices through to elite competitors. If you’re lucky enough to get one of the limited places, you’ll have an EPIC day!
