Join hundreds of kids taking part in the Birmingham UK Kids Fun Duathlon where they will be run, bike, running perhaps for charity or just for the fun of it!
A fantastic way to get the kids active and outdoors.
Set in Sutton Park, the largest urban parkland in Europe at 2,400 acres, the course is spectator friendly for supporting family & friends and a fun & relaxed atmosphere is guaranteed.
The park has plenty to see & do for families and on the day facilities will include hot & cold food and refreshments making it a great day out for the family!
As organisers of the biggest triathlon series across the UK we are passionate and proud about what we do and the Kids Fun events are no exception. With hundreds of smiling kids faces at the end of an event parents & children alike gain a special sense of achievement and parents words of appreciation & promises to return next year confirm that the end result was worth every bit of hard work all round.
NB: Due to the cycle course being on slightly uneven grass within Sutton Park, it is recommended racing bike wheels and tyres that are used for tarmac are not suitable for the cycle leg of the Kids Duathlon and Triathlon. Mountain bikes or similar types of bikes would be suitable.
NB: There will be a promotional video being filmed and photographs being taken at the event so please be aware of this
Please Note: Competitor Race Day Information (Individual Start Times, Bib Numbers etc) will be emailed out to competitors 7-10 days before the event.

Birmingham Kids Duathlon - Map
The whole of the bike course and run courses will be post and taped, making it easy for the children to navigate
When you arrive at registration on the day, you will be given two wrist bands in your event day envelope. One for your child to wear, and one for you (the parent/carer) to wear. This allows one parent/carer to go into transition with the children to help them rack their bike.
Red lines = Kids run course 1
Yellow lines = Kids bike course
Green lines = Kids run course 2
White dotted line = Kids finish
Please take some time to read all the event information, it will make it far more enjoyable for you and reduce the need to ask questions on the day. Good luck and have a great day!
You can use this information as a guide for your 2018 event. Full and up to date 2018 competitor race day information with your race number and start time will be emailed to you 7-10 days before the event.
WE DO NOT POST ANYTHING OUT - you will collect your race numbers, tattoos, stickers etc. at registration on the day.

Dear UK Triathlon team
I just wanted to say a huge thank from us at St Thomas', the children and parents had an absolutely amazing day at the Cheshire Duathlon. The feedback from parents has been phenomenal in terms of seeing their children achieve something they never would have normally attempted, also the children have still been buzzing and talking about it (even wearing their medals in school today). It most certainly was an experience they will never forget.
This was a big investment for our school, so from a personal point of view, the event was extremely well organised both prior to and on the day. The UK Tri team made us feel really special throughout the day taking their time to do extra photos and make special announcements etc, this meant a lot to both myself and the children. I can genuinely say that Saturday will be one of my career highlights forever.
The children and myself wanted to send you all a picture of us with our medals to say a big thank you for creating the most amazing memories and giving us the most magnificent sense of achievement.
If I can be of any help in terms in speaking to other schools etc just let me know.
Many Thanks
Louise and Team St Thomas'
