Unusual Event in Durrow

Alison has sent me on details of an interesting little duathlon event in a couple of weeks time. The event is unusual in two ways - firstly, its an Xterra or Off-road event and secondly, its in Laois but not being organised by Trilogy.

The event is a casual race over 1 mile (run), 5 miles (mountain bike) and 3 miles (run), all in and around the Leafy Loop Woods, Durrow. Doesn't it sounds an idyllic place!

You will need a mountain bike, an old pair of runners and (of course) your helmet to take part. After you cross the finish line, there will be showers, soup and sandwiches in Hogans bar.

The race is on Saturday 7 March, and the organiser - Bernard Connolly (087 9600180)of Tri Carrick - asks that you confirm your interest by text before 2 March. Entry is a recession-friendly €10.00, which includes the race, showers and lunch.

The event is also open to Juniors.
