TWO RUNS. ONE HARD RIDE.
ZERO EXCUSES.
A duathlon swaps the swim for a second run — run, cycle, run. It rewards runners who can hold a bike leg and cyclists who can still move on tired legs. "Mongrels" means mixed-breed: no papers, no pedigree, just legs and grit to finish what you started.
GO LONG.
FINISH STRONG.
The full-distance challenge for athletes who want to test their speed, endurance and grit across all three legs.
SHORTER.
STILL SAVAGE.
Built for first-timers and fast movers. Same three-leg challenge — just condensed into a sharp, high-energy race.
