The International Duathlon will be in its 16th year in 2012 and booking will open very soon.

This event is open to anyone who wants the challenge, from novices looking to experience a duathlon for the very first time, all the way through to the elite category looking to set their own personal best.

It consists of a 5k run, followed by a 20k bike ride and finally a 2.5k run.

Starting at the Club La Santa stadium, you'll start with a lap of the track, then head towards the lagoon, before returning to the stadium for your second circuit of the course.

Then the cycling starts as you race out of the stadium and head towards Caleta de Cabello, then Soo before hitting the surfers paradise of Famara and then back to the stadium.

The final run is a repeat of the first circuit - but just once before heading (hopefully) to the podium!
