Midlands Off Road Series

Series Overview

After a hugely successful series in 2014 - the Midlands Off-Road Series - is back for 2015. The series is made up of the following events:

Race 1 - Clumber Park Off Road Duathlon at Clumber Park
Race 2 - Robin Hood Duathlon at Sherwood Pines
Race 3 - Nottingham Dirty Dash Duathlon at Holme Pierrepont Country Park

The series has been put together to offer you the opportunity to continue testing yourself and to get your competitive juices flowing right up to the end of the year! We know as athletes that you are very keen to look after yourselves. As we all know mud is good for the skin! So not only do you get some challenging courses, in 2014 we took care of providing mud, glorious mud in spades to keep your complexions in tip top condition as well!!

The courses have been designed to provide something for everybody from the novice off road racer through to the more experienced off road athlete.

Each event offers its own unique challenge as we have made use of the fantastic roads, trails and paths at each of the venues to ensure you have a challenge that you will remember when you cross the finish line. From the longer steady climbs in Sherwood forest to the short sharp lung busters at Holme Pierrepont and the exhilarating descents at Clumber Park - well after all what goes up must come down, there is something just round the next corner to keep you interested, whilst also giving you the opportunity to take in the scenery at all 3 locations.

So what are you waiting for, set yourself the challenge of taking part in one or all of these fantastic events to test your off road skills.

Don't take our word for it, have a look at the video clips of what last year's competitors had to say about the events.
