The Muckathlon is just around the corner and we’re still accepting Solo and Team entries! 

If you’re undecided, here are a few more reasons you should enter…. 

It’s a Collaboration Between Eventfull Sporting Events and Muckmedden Events

Eventfull have a proven track record when it comes to organising Triathlon/Duathlon/Marathon events, including Perth Kilt Run and Dundee Running Adventure Marathon to name just a couple.  Muckmedden on the other hand know how to put together fun-packed Mountain bike races and family-friendly festivals.  We also know how to party!  Put these elements together and what have you got?  Oh come on keep up, it’s The Muckathlon.

It’s Part Of The Eliminator MTB Festival

The Muckathlon is so much more than just a race.  It’s part of a weekend long festival with camping, live music, MTB racing, so before, during and after the race you and your family can enjoy tons of other cool stuff.  If you’ve never done a Duathlon before, this is the one to start with!

It’s C-Nick

Seeing as the majority of the route follows the most northerly section beautiful Fife Coastal Path, you can expect it to be scenic with a capital C.  In fact, such is the beauty of the route that on a recent course recce several riders had their socks literally blown off as they passed by ruined castles and disused fishing bothy’s on the banks of the River Tay, while cows paraglided overhead.  Or at least I think that’s what they said.  Anyway the route is very beautiful.

How tough will it be?

That obviously depends on your own individual fitness and how well you pace yourself, but it’s no pushover.  Generally speaking if you run or bike fairly regularly it’s an achievable challenge and you should have all three sections (Run 4.5km – Bike 18km – Run 4.5km) completed in around 2-4 hours and be chilling in the bar with a pint of isotonic I.P.A. (or whatever “Duathletes” drink) and enjoying the rest of the festival.  See the GPS Profile at the  bottom of this post for elevation, distances etc.

Make It A Team Effort

If you’re concerned about your fitness or ability to complete the route, or just fancy doing it with a friend/partner, why not enter as a team?  If you know a runner or a biker (or even one of each) you can just do the bit(s) you enjoy and split the pain/reward.  Or just do it as a Solo and be super smug knowing you did it all single-handedly.

You’d love to enter but you’ll have the kids

Worry not, those wee Muckers aren’t spoiling your fun this time!  We’ve timed the races so that if you enter as a team, the runner can run while the biker looks after the kids.  Then, the biker does the bike section while the runner looks after the kids (if the kids are doing the Mini Muckathlon it takes place around this time).  Toddler bike races take place at various times throughout the day, so you don’t have to worry about them as you can fit them around everything else.  It’s a team effort in every sense and nobody has to miss out!  Awesome eh?
