05th Sep 2021

Deadline: 20th Aug 2021

Richmond Park, London

The Descente London Duathlon, the world’s biggest run-bike-run event, will take place on Sunday 16th September on closed roads in the beautiful Richmond Park. The event offers athletes of all abilities the chance to race through stunning surroundings whilst competing in a variety of distances. You can choose between a half duathlon, a full duathlon or, if you’re feeling particularly daring, an ultra-duathlon. So whether you’re out to complete your first duathlon or pushing for a personal best, there’s an event for you! We even have a team relay duathlon event so you can split up the legs and take on different teams alongside your friends. Not only that, when you enter the London Duathlon you’ll receive a free Descente cycling jersey worth £130!

Help raise funds to save highly endangered gorillas!

There are just over 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the world and all four gorilla subspecies are highly endangered. The rangers who protect them risk their lives to keep them safe. They need simple things to do their jobs well: rainwear to protect them in the forest, compasses to help them find their way in inhospitable terrain, mountain tents for long nights spent on patrol. By taking part in an event, and fundraising for us, you will allow us to continue our award-winning conservation projects in Africa, providing a brighter future for gorillas and the people they live alongside.
