Devon Duathlon Autumn

Devon Duathlon Autumn is based at Roadford Lake near Broadwoodwidger and Lifton in Devon, with run-bike-run racing on a venue built around quiet roads, traffic-free trails, and a roomy transition area. The event includes Standard and Sprint distances, with the Standard race going off in a mass start and the Sprint starting shortly after. It is British Triathlon affiliated, and the Standard Distance race also serves as a European Championship qualifier for the British Triathlon GB Age-Group Team, so athletes chasing selection need to enter the race and register their qualifying intent by the Friday before race day. The course setup suits both serious age-group racers and people who want a clearly managed autumn duathlon without city traffic. Professional chip timing records transition splits, medals go to every finisher, and category winners receive prizes. The event has a commentator, music, professional first aid, public liability insurance, and plenty of practical support on site, including parking, a cafe serving hot food and drinks, and camping or camper van space for athletes staying close to the start.
