Held across three Sundays this winter — 31 May, 28 June, and 26 July — the HTC Winter Duathlon Series offers a fast, friendly format for athletes of all levels hosted at KartSport Hamilton’s closed-course venue.
Both events will use the same course; which is multiple run laps mostly on the asphalt of the go kart track with some grass sections followed by bike laps fully on the asphalt.
This event is for race 3 - Sunday 26th July.
Participants can choose between two race options:
· 2km/8km/2km Open Duathlon — Designed for confident riders and experienced racers, this event follows Tri NZ drafting rules and amateur bike racing etiquette. Placings will be awarded for top finishers (male and female, if numbers allow), and athletes are expected to manage their own lap counts and race conduct.
· 1.4km / 3.5km / 1.4km Try-A-Duo — A welcoming, non-competitive option for juniors, newcomers, and anyone not comfortable in a peloton. Riders are expected to maintain safe spacing and focus on participation rather than placings. It’s a great way to build confidence and enjoy the sport in a supportive environment.
Entry is $15 for club members and $30 for non-members. No series pass — just sign up for the dates that suit you. Volunteers and supporters are warmly encouraged to attend - reach out via the club contact link on our website if you are keen.
