Back for a second year, TriWorks East Fortune Duathlon is an exciting new event on the Scottish multisport calendar. We have a great team of creative organisers who bring their passion and knowledge to create a welcoming, professional and unforgettable race experience.
Here at TriWorks we like to break new ground and by offering Scotland's only draft-legal race and the opportunity to race around a closed motor racing circuit we've created a truly unique event!
We are also offering a non-drafting wave which is the perfect race if you are new to the sport or want to gain more confidence on the bike before joining a draft-legal race.
