Duathlon

A duathlon is a multistage athletic event combining running and cycling. Typically, participants complete a run, then transition to a bike ride, and finish with another run. It requires endurance, strategy, and gear changes, challenging athletes' versatility. Unlike triathlons, duathlons do not include swimming, making them more accessible for those with cycling and running backgrounds. They vary in distance, from short sprint formats to longer, more demanding races, and are popular for testing overall fitness and preparing for triathlons.
