The EPIC Fire Fighters Duathlon is a unique event which takes place in conjunction with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue. It’s known locally as the ‘start of season social race’ but there’s nothing particularly ‘social’ about the course! The format is simple, you choose a friend or race partner and stick together throughout the run / bike / run. On the bike you are allowed to work as a pair, by ‘drafting’ each other, but not with other teams. The 4 miles trail run is a tough start and end to the race, with a hilly 25 mile in between, to make sure you finish with a grimace on your face. It’s a fantastic event, an awesome atmosphere, lots of team rivalries and smiles all round. Grab your partner and get entered!
Back by popular demand on Valentines Day! Are you without a partner and looking for love? Are you just looking to escape your partner and get some quiet time? Check out our solo option so you can still join in the fun and, who knows, we might even manage to find you your true love and finally get ourselves an EPIC wedding.
