The Sri Chinmoy Off-Road Duathlon is the only race of its type in Canberra this season. The first run course runs through the National Botanic Gardens. The bike thoroughly explores Black Mountain Reserve (and for the long course, Aranda Bushland). The final run for the long course enjoys some of the best views in Canberra (read: goes almost to the top of Black Mountain), while the short course offers a much easier option.

Short Course: 2 km run/7 km mountain bike/2.5 km run
Long Course: 3.3 km run/23 km mountain bike/7.5 km run
