Event Overview
You Yangs Off-road is scheduled for 31 May 2026 at You Yangs Regional Park in Victoria. The program includes two duathlon options: a Long Course (Run 6km / Bike 28km / Run 6km) and a Short Course (Run 3km / Bike 14km / Run 3km), with both individual and two-person relay entries available. The same event morning also offers separate 10km, 7km and 4km run events, all with electronic timing and finishers medals.
What the Course Demands
This event is designed around off-road duathlon and run courses within You Yangs Regional Park, so athletes should expect varied terrain and changing rhythm across the route. Duathlon participants need efficient transitions and steady pacing across two run legs separated by a mountain bike segment, with split times provided. The organiser lists cut-off times for the duathlon, which adds an execution focus for anyone aiming to manage effort and time through each leg.
Who This Event Suits Best
The Long Course duathlon suits athletes who are comfortable combining off-road running with a longer mountain bike leg and want a more sustained effort across all three segments. The Short Course works well for those newer to duathlon or returning to racing who prefer a shorter overall load. Relay entry can suit pairs who want to split run and bike responsibilities. The run-only options provide shorter alternatives on the same day.
