East Fortune Duathlon
21st of March 2027
Scotland's only draft legal multisport race is back for it's fifth year in 2027.
The event is hosted at the East Fortune motor racing circuit, promising fast and fun racing around smooth tarmac and sweeping bends.
If pack riding is not your style, we also offer a dedicated non-drafting wave. This is ideal if you are new to the sport, building your bike confidence, or simply want to put your head down on the TT bike and suffer in peace.
We welcome all ages and abilities. Whether you are a seasoned regular chasing a PB or lining up for your very first start, you are in exactly the right place.
