This event is part of Central Lancashire Junior and Super Sprint Duathlon - Summer.
Please arrive 15 – 30 minutes before your wave start time. This should give you ample time to familiarise yourself with the transition, warm up, discuss any queries you may have with the team and use the facilities if necessary. Waves start at 09:00. Start lists will be posted on this page with your number and official start time the day before the event takes place.

Registration will open around 45 minutes before your wave start time. you will be able to collect your number and we will have bottled water on hand.
If you have children in different waves to register, please wait for the appropriate time as again, this causes a delay for the wave currently registering. We will endeavour to get you registered as soon as we can, but we will prioritise the current wave.
You will have a specific area within transition where you can keep your bike, running shoes and any nutrition/hydration you require during the event. Please keep any bags or items you will not need during the event in your car. There will be no additional storage available.

Each wave will include a mass start. Please place yourself appropriately when starting, so if you are expecting to be finishing towards the middle or back, please do not stand right at the front and cause any hazards during the start.
Please be ready to start at your allocated time to avoid holding up any other participants. If you arrive at the start line after your time has gone, you will have to wait until all other participants have started to commence your race.
Please run on the left side of the track to allow for overtaking and returning runners. you will be running in an anticlockwise direction.
Overtaking is allowed but if you are overtaken, please drop back slightly to allow for adequate distance. If you overtake, please move over to the right, but ensure you drop back in to the left as soon as it is safe.
You will be riding on the left-hand side of the track in a clockwise direction.
The mount line will be well out of the transition area, and it will be marked with a flag. The dismount line will be at the same place as where you mounted your bike. Please walk/run with your bike from/to transition. Do not mount or dismount before these points. This has been put in place to avoid any confusion between cyclists, runners or motorists as well as providing additional space to adhere to social distancing.
All riders must wear a helmet and will not be allowed on the course without one.
At dismount, please ensure you dismount on the left-hand side to avoid veering into any riders still on course behind you. Please dismount safely and then only cross to the transition area where clear.
