The Duathlon de Neuville sur Poitou is a run-bike-run event held in Neuville-de-Poitou, a town in Nouvelle-Aquitaine located approximately 13 km from Poitiers. AC Neuville Triathlon is the organizer, offering short XS and S distances, along with an S relay option for teams. Starts are staggered from early to mid-afternoon, and the entry fees are reasonable for a multisport event.
The race features compact distances: the XS consists of a short opening run, a bike leg, and a final run, while the S format includes a longer run and bike segment. The initial run is largely flat, with an elevation gain of about 10 to 20 metres depending on the chosen format. Futuroscope serves as the nearest train station, and Châtellerault and Parthenay are accessible for participants traveling from nearby towns.
