Come and race at one of the world's premier multisport facilities, Stromlo Forest Park, for the ACT Duathlon Championships. Run on the beautifully manicured cross country grass running loop, transition on the cycle criterium track, ride on the rolling hills of Uriarra Road and return to the cross country track for the final run. This fast, fun and friendly race is a great way to start the race season or your fitness campaign. 

Triathlon ACT events are designed for the family in mind with categories for beginners to elite and young children to the mature athlete. The main race will include a 5km run, 20km cycle and 2.5km run. Novice events take place on the same circuit. Grab your friends and family and get involved in the ACT Duathlon Champs on Sunday 18th October 2020.

This event is a World Championships Qualification (WQE) race for the Triathlon Australia team that will attend to the 2021 ITU World Duathlon Championships as part of the ITU World Multisport Championships in Almere, Netherlands (September 3-12th). Challenge yourself at the ACT Duathlon Championships at one of the most beautiful multisport event destinations in the heart of Canberra.
