East Fortune Duathlon

Run 5km | Bike 20km | Run 2.5km

Back for a third year, TriWorks are proud to bring you the East Fortune Duathlon. Scotland’s only draft-legal multisport race. 

The event is hosted at East Fortune motor racing circuit which promises to provide fast and fun racing around the smooth tarmac and sweeping bends of this exciting course. 

If this is your first duathlon, this is the perfect race for you. Expect a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere and a flat, safe and fun course. The race track is 11m wide, so there is plenty of space for everybody. However, we also have a non-drafting wave which is perfect if you just want to focus on your own race.

If you are a seasoned triathlete, runner or cyclist, or a potential future champion, expect some hot competition at the front of the race and enjoy the fast, fun and tactical nature of draft-legal racing.

Draft-Legal Sprint Duathlon (British Championships and European Championship Qualifier)

The Sprint Distance Draft-Legal Duathlon consists of a 5km run, followed by a 20km bike and finishing with a 2.5km run. There will be a separate Female Wave alongside an Open Wave (in accordance with British Triathlon’s Transgender Policy).

We are delighted to announce that the 2025 East Fortune Duathlon will be a qualifier for the European Sprint Distance Duathlon Championships in 2026 and the inaugural British Sprint Duathlon Championships!

To be eligible to qualify you must have Core or Ultimate membership of either Triathlon Scotland, Triathlon England or Welsh Triathlon. You must also register to qualify before 5pm on the 21st March 2025 via the British Triathlon Website.

Non-Drafting Sprint Duathlon

The Non-Drafting Sprint Duathlon also consists of a 5km run, followed by a 20km bike and finishing with a 2.5km run on the same course. There will be a single Open Wave and cyclists will be required to maintain a 10m distance from the rider in front unless they are overtaking. This is the perfect race if you are new to the sport or want to gain more confidence on the bike before joining a draft-legal race. It is also perfect for athletes looking for an early season hit out on their TT bike.
