Sarajevo Duathlon Challenge

The running course is circular, and the race consists of two running segments. The first segment includes five laps, while the second segment has three laps. Each lap is approximately 1 km long. The first running segment begins with a joint start from the start/finish zone and ends with entering the transition zone to switch to the cycling segment. The second segment begins immediately after the cycling segment with a direct exit from the transition zone and finishes when the athlete enters the finish zone. The cycling course is also circular, with each lap being approximately 5.8 km long. Four laps complete the cycling segment. Therefore, the total distance exceeds the established sprint duathlon format by a few kilometers, but in order to maintain a fast pace and the integrity of the course, it was decided to keep it as is, with prior notice to the participants. The cycling leg begins with an exit from the transition zone after the first running segment and ends with re-entering the same zone after completing the specified number of laps. Allowed bikes include road, MTB, gravel, and trekking bikes. Road and time-trial bikes with aero bars, full-disc wheels, or wheels with a depth greater than 100mm are not allowed. Electric bikes are also prohibited.
