London Duathlon cancelled to 'unforeseen factors' including safety fears over speeding bikes

Richmond Park.

A longstanding duathlon run in one of London's biggest parks has been cancelled due to "unforeseen factors", thought to include safety concerns.

The London Duathlon, which has been advertised as the world's largest run/bike event, sees about 4,000 people run, cycle, then run around Richmond Park. It was due to happen on 8 September, but has been cancelled due to Richmond Park's operator, The Royal Parks, embarking on a review of its cycling policy following "several cycling-related incidents".
