Greetings fellow participants!   

Thank you for entering the 2024 Perth Duathlon & Runningworks Festival. We are excited to share this premiere event with you. Please read through the email as we have done our best to answer some of your questions. 

BIB COLLECTION - It's recommended you collect your bib on Wednesday between 4.30pm – 7.30pm at Runningworks (Level 2 Corner of Disney Street & Rountree Road, Brentwood, located Inside Squashworld) to avoid the rush on event day. Bib collection is also available on race day, one hour prior to your event.  

LOCATION & PARKING – The event is at the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre located on Henley Drive Champion Lakes. All Participants can park on the island. Cars are unable to leave the island until 10.30am due to the duathlon ride leg taking place. 5k, 10k and half marathoners should consider parking off the island in the Henley Drive Car Park which is approximately 3 minutes’ walk from the start area.  

START TIMES – All events start at 7.30am. Duathlon participants please arrive one hour prior to your event. Event runners please arrive 15 minutes before your event, for your briefing. 

AID STATIONS - Every aid station is around 2.5k. At each aid station there will be BIX hydration & water. All runners are responsible for their own Nutrition on the day.   

GIFT VOUCHER – All participants will receive a $50.00 Gift Voucher for any pair of shoes at Runningworks or you can use it to receive 10% Off anything else at our store. 

EVENT SINGLETS & SHIRTS – If you would like to buy a Perth Duathlon or Runningworks Event Series singlet you can purchase one during Bib collection at Runningworks or on the day for $29.00.   

PRESENTATIONS - Prizes & medals for 1, 2 & 3 in all events as well as age group winners in the Duathlon. Presentations will be done at the earliest practicable time. Some events maybe done separately.

Duathlon Participants there are some rules that need to be observed for the Duathlon. The rules are as followed:    

Transition Mounting & Dismounting: You must mount your bike after the transition line and dismount your bike before the Transition line.

No drafting: During the bike leg you cannot draft behind another bike. You must be at least 10 metres at all times, unless you are overtaking.  

Transition Area:  Your helmet must be clipped on before taking your bike off the bike rack to start your bike leg. When you arrive back in transition you must place you bike on the bike rack before unclipping and removing your helmet.

No earphones: You cannot wear earphones during the bike leg for obvious safety reasons, doing so will result in disqualification.

Runningworks is looking for VOLUNTEERS to help at this year’s event as a Marshall or at our Hydration Stations. We are offering a FREE entry into the Runningworks Lark Hill Party Ultra (01/03/2024) for anyone that can help on the day. If you know of anyone that may be able to volunteer, please have them email Chris Lark on runningworkshilton@outlook.com
