New partner announced for the Ashton Duathlon

Created On: 18 February 2011

DB Max have a new partner on board for the launch of the Ashton Duathlon on March 27th and there's a healthy cash purse for the race as a result.

Bespoke hand-crafted kitchen designer Stephen Graver are the event title sponsors, so there's £500 up for grabs in the elite category races and £200 in the open races. The £200 prize for the winning elite male ensures some top quality racing with the likes of Wayne Smith, Ian Cardy, Lee Piercy, Lee Rankin, David Vaughan and James Gifillan all looking to race.

It's not just about the top athletes though and there'll be cash prizes for the open races too. DB Max are also encouraging local newcomers to take part and offering a relay race to those looking for an introduction to multisport.

The idyllic West Country village of Steeple Ashton hosts the 5k run/30k bike/5k run event, with race HQ under the shadow of the ancient village church. Both the run and bike courses take in some stunning local scenery from the countryside and surrounding villages.

The race forms part of the Big Adventure Store Spring Duathlon Series 2011 - more details are available at www.dbmax.co.uk/.
