A triathlon is a well known and beloved sport, with the race consisting of running, swimming and cycling in equal measures, one after the other. However, training for all three sports (see our blog on brick training here) can be strenuous, or perhaps swimming or cycling isn’t something you particularly enjoy. In response to athletes who would prefer a multisport race of just running and swimming or running and cycling, there are popular races such as aquathlons and duathlons. Both aquathlons and duathlons are set up similarly to a triathlon consisting of three legs, except running is sandwiched either side of the swim or cycle. However, if you’re a lover or triathlons and looking for even more variations of a multisport race, there are lesser known events such as Biathle, Aquabike and Quadrathlon races to try your hand at.
