Read MoreFestive Duathlon (08/12/19)
There was a fair wind blowing when we got up at 6am ahead of our festive duathlon last weekend. However by the time we arrived at High Lodge to check the course and get organised the weather had significantly improved. In fact, it was actually quite pleasant in the winter sun that greeted the 36…

The third race in the duathlon series took place on Sunday 17th November with the event sold out over two weeks beforehand. 64 competitors made it on the day, which is the highest number to date.

Read MoreGo-Tri Duathlons Series At High Lodge
The Go Tri duathlon series was organised last year by Jake Stafford (Active Forest Co-ordinator) at High Lodge. Whilst the series proved popular, Jake was keen to see someone else take over the organisation for this year and of course we are thrilled that it will be Can But Tri! Go Tri events are intended…

May 18th and 19th 2019 saw Can But Tri deliver our very first event – and what an event it was! We took over the event from Active Outdoor Sport who had organised it since inception in 2015, so we had a tough act to follow! Hopefully we delivered a great weekend of racing including…
