virtual bike-run races
5-week series starting from 5 april
how does it work?
- The bike leg starts at 10am GMT on the allotted date and is raced over a course on Training Peaks Virtual
- Each participant then has 7-minutes from completing the bike leg to start the run leg
- The run leg will either be a 3k or 5k run and can be performed indoors or outdoors but must be tracked and uploaded to Strava
- Once a participant has completed the bike and run, to be included in the standings, they must upload their run results, along with a screenshot of the Strava activity, using the questionnaire below
Important rules
- There will be a time based general classification, which does not take account of transition times. Everyone has 7-minutes to move from the bike to the run.
- However, if your run activity starts more than 7-minutes after the finish of your bike leg, an equivalent amount of time will be added to your run.
- All participants must join and race the V-Duathlon event on Training Peaks Virtual for their bike times to be accepted.
- Please note, some of the bike legs will be draft legal and some will be individual time trials (drafting turned off). This is noted in the events calendar below.
- Alongside entering your run result into the questionnaire below, the screenshot of your Strava run activity must display the following: 1. Time started, distance, average pace and moving time. It should therefore look like the image below.
