New Hardrock Duathlon Event for 2025
The Hardrock Duathlon is an exhilarating challenge that covers just over 26 miles in the stunning Dalbeattie Forest, located in Dumfries and Galloway, Southwest Scotland. This year, we're excited to introduce a shorter route, allowing athletes to get a taste of the challenge that the longer course offers. Join us for this thrilling experience and see what you’re capable of!
Main Event
The course includes a challenging 14.3km/8.9miles running section following walker trails and forest roads as well as a 28.6km/17.8miles mountain biking section consisting of two laps around the Barnbarroch loop, which is one of the most technical sections of the 7stanes which and probably not for the faint-hearted! The running route follows walking trails and forest roads, while the mountain biking route incorporates parts of the 7stanes red trails.

Forest Update
Due to severe storm damage major work is taking place this year to clear the routes and prevent further devastation if future storms hit the region. This should not affect these courses but this is out of our control and is subject to the forestry clearance programme. We will keep our facebook updated with any changes in the weeks leading up to the event.

Anyone who declines the lift back to the trailhead will have to be charged £25 for non-return of the chip. All finishers must return their chip as soon as they finish for time recording.
