Set in one of the UK\u2019s most popular mountain bike locations, Escape To Afan is no doubt one of the most exciting duathlons on the UK\u2019s calendar. We have 2 options for you to choose from (or both):<\/p>\n

SPRINT & STANDARD!<\/strong><\/h5>\n

On 25th November morning we will be hosting the original Escape To Afan Off-road Duathlon with a standard and sprint distance available. This will be a challenging race but will be less technical on the bike and more of an exciting off-road duathlon that will attract the most talented of athletes but also a great opportunity for beginners to take up a new challenge.<\/p>\n

GO EXTREME!<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By popular demand, many requested a more technical course, so on 25th November afternoon we will be having exclusive use of the MTB trails for a more challenging race.<\/p>\n

Escape to Afan Extreme will take you though a challenging journey of some of Afan\u2019s most renowned mountain bike trails. This MTB course will test your technical skills and physical strength with single tracks, steep uphill and off-road passages.<\/p>\n
