Not a swimmer? No problem. One of the world’s largest duathlons — that’s run, bike, run, for the uninitiated — and one of the UK’s only-closed roads duathlons, the London Duathlon, returns to Richmond Park next weekend and it’s set to be a cracker. More than 4,000 of all abilities are expected to take part and there should be plenty of deer there to cheer you on, too.
The running and cycling event is one of the most popular races of the capital’s sporting calendar and a must for regular Richmond riders who fancy a rare day cycling along the leafy roads and trails when the whole park is closed to vehicles. You won’t find a more picturesque racing spot in all of London.
