Join us at Levels Raceway, Timaru, for the Mid/South Canterbury Secondary Schools Duathlon.

Open to individuals and teams, the event follows on from a Primary Schools event in the morning, making for a full and exciting day of racing.

Distances are kept short and fast by design. Short enough so anyone can make the start line and allowing fast and tight racing for the more serious athletes.
