Very slick registration process with the race number, bike and hemlet stickers and timing chip collection on the morning of the event. Plenty of space in transition area and clear and uncomplicated course consisting of 1 lap of the infield for the first 5km run, 8 laps of the oval for the 20km bike then a final lap of the infield for the Sprint Duathlon. The head wind was noticable on the half of the bike laps but this did not detract from a great event. Shame that it will not be run again

The event was at Rockingham Motor stadium so there was not really any support, but the marshals were fantastic. The course was a bit boring but nice tarmac to run and ride on. No bottle neck either.

Fast!!! Really fast... Then you hit the notorious head wind and sllloooooowwww. The run is around the infield racetrace, the bike around the oval. No traffic, loads of space, perfect surface. There's also the other races (5k, 10k, 10mile run) later in the day. If you fancy it. Ju...

My second Duathlon and first around a race track and very easy to get to the venue and to get registered for the event, marshalling and support was good and value for money.

Excellent race at a great venue (Rockingham motor racing circuit) and exceptionally well organised. I'll definitely be back.

Well organised and small details count, quick registration, Bike and helmet stickers that peel straight back off (never underestimate this) , instant and quick provisional results, relaxed and friendly officials and Marshall’s, catering for the best and the first timers .... well done guys . Only one bit advice is have some interval markers for 5/10km, know you have multiple distances and races but you could display on same board or across a few boards clearly and simply.

Hi Giles - Thanks for your comments. Really good to know you enjoyed it. We had the 1-4 km boards in place (measured back from the finish line) & hoped that since the finish line was the same for 5k & 10k - it would be a simple calculation to double up. They were on small bright orange boards. Kind regards Amanda
