Friendly Dental VLK (Very Low Key) Duathlon Series

The Friendly Dental VLK (Very Low Key) Duathlons live up to their name.

These Duathlons are very friendly with the emphasis on "Very Low Key". You do not have to be fit, fast or look fantastic in lycra! All you need is a pair of comfortable running or walking shoes and a bike.

The run/walk and cycle course is flat and aimed to please the even the entry level athlete. This series is recommended for anyone aged 13 years and over.

Events are held in May, June, July and August each year. You can do the event as an individual or if that seems a bit much, get a friend and do it as a team. You could event get two friends and really have a fun and relaxed day out there. Team entries only pay per person so there are no hidden costs.

There are three distances in this event and you can choose the course and distance that best suits you.

• The Peak Fitness and Health Duathlon
This Duathlon is for the beginner to duathlons and also those just getting into fitness again. It is all flat - now that should put a smile on your face.
It starts with a 2km run or walk, then followed by a 11km (one loop) cycle and finished by another 2km run or walk. This can be done all by yourself or as a team.

Lots of fun and plenty of time to get the Arizona Star Bar for a hot or cold drink before the prize giving.

• The Kaweka Foods Duathlon
This duathlon has been designed for those beginners who want to step up the distance a little without too much discomfort. It is more of a challenge but the extra effort will be worth it for the satisfaction you will get at the finish line.

It starts with a 4.5km run or walk, then a 22km cycle, and here's the nice part, a 2km run or walk at the finish. Well done! You will deserve a reward at the end of this. Again this is ideal for individuals and teams.

• The Revolution Bikes Duathlon
OK so this is the biggy. But still very do-able if you have done the training. It starts with a 4.5km run/walk, then followed by a 22km cycle and then the big 4.5km run or walk finish. We advise a bit more training is required for this event to ensure you really enjoy the 4.5km at the end.

This is also perfect for teams because it gives all the team members a really good chance to shine!
