The Dandy DuO is a sprint distance adventure race involving running and mountain biking legs with an element of navigation.
You can take the race at whatever pace you like – as hard or as easy as you want. We want everyone to be able to have a go, challenge themselves, but above all, have fun!
The event is for all ages and abilities, male or female, solo competitors, pairs (two competitors complete the entire course together) and relay team (one person does the running, another does the bike ride).
The 2015 event will be held at Emerald Lake Park, Lake Road, Emerald.
Courses
Two course lengths to choose from.
Approximate distances are:
Long: Run 5km, Ride 18km, Run 3km
Short: Run 3km, Ride 9km, Run 2km
The estimated winning times for the race will be approx. 2 hours for the long course and 1 hour for the short. The race will require you to find checkpoints using the provided map to navigate your way around the course.
For first timers, there will be a brief coaching session on the morning of the race. The navigation is quite straight forward and anyone capable of using the Melways to get to the event, is more than able to complete these races without getting lost.
If you have not competed in navigation sports before, we strongly advise you to enter the short course for your first race. There is a time cut off, so we want to make sure you are able to finish the course, rather than run out of time.
