A Return To Action
After a false start in August, it’s with great pleasure we can say that our first real-world event since February will be held on Sunday 27th September at High Lodge! We had originally planned on holding a duathlon on this date as part of a new summer series. That will obviously now have to wait…
Read MoreSuffolk Accident & Rescue Service
Stradbroke Triathlon has been supporting Suffolk Accident Rescue Service for several years now. Despite this year’s event cancellation we still wanted to help them if possible. Like most charities their fundraising efforts have been hit hard in 2020 with many fundraising events and other opportunities cancelled due to Covid-19. SARS have estimated a decrease in…
Read MoreSome Fun Facts
Whilst faffing around on the British Triathlon Event Organiser System recently we came across some info-graphics based on data from our all of our permitted events. It’s not quite all the events we have organised since our inception at the end of 2019, but almost. We thought you might find some of the data interesting.…
Read MoreYoung Minds
Throughout our winter duathlon series at High Lodge we have been raising funds for the charity Young Minds which provides essential support for children and young people experiencing mental health issues. We\ve been doing this by donation £1 for every volunteer offering their time at each event we host and by collecting additional donations. With…
Read MoreVirtual Reality
We had been thinking about this for a while, but with the on-going Covid-19-induced lockdown we are organising a few virtual events to help keep you entertained and active. We’ve started a fortnightly Monday MeetUp ride on the virtual cycling platform Zwift. These are just meant to be social rides with a bit of chat…
Read MoreEvent Cancellations
By now all those entered in our Go Tri duathlon and the Mother’s day challenge on 22nd March or the Stradbroke Triathlon weekend in May should have received emails notifying them of the event cancellations due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst this is not something we wanted to do we had no option –…
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…
Read MoreGo Tri Duathlon Series Race 2 & Family Bike-Run Challenge (13/10/19)
The weather wasn’t as good as for September’s duathlon, but thankfully not as bad as the deluge of rain the previous weekend that resulted in even High Lodge’s sandy trails becoming flooded (we were marshalling at the Forestry 100 year celebration 10K where a canoe might have been handy!). After a very damp time setting…
Read MoreFun-Bike-Run Series Coming To High Lodge!
Alongside our Go Tri Duathlon Series we are also organising a Fun-Bike-Run Series at High Lodge. Whilst the Duathlon Series is intended to give people an introduction to multi-sport competition we are aiming the Fun Series more at those who just want to get active and participate. Perhaps this will be for general fitness reasons,…

Our first duathlon of the Go Tri series at High Lodge proved a success with 48 competitors taking on the off-road 2.25km run, 7.25km bike and lastly another 2.25km run. With only a handful of people raising their hand when asked if they had done this kind of event before it was encouraging to see…
