So does this need to be dicussed within the comittee as to what race the Run-Bike-Run trophy will be decided at next year?? (Maybe the ?Feb Wadenhoe race or a Bedford duathlon or will it be a completely different race?)
The local WADENHOE QUADMIRE SERIES takes place every winter over 4 races,
each using the same circuit and format.
run 2 miles
bike 6 miles
run 2 miles
All of it is off-road with the bottom section down by the river,
sometimes being flooded, sometimes snowy, sometimes boggy and sometimes
firm. This is a hilly course, where cyclists have to dismount in a
couple of places.

This series was also used by PACTRAC to determine our Off-Road Run,Bike,Run
Champion for 2013, and Steve Giles has, therefore, won the first PACTRAC
Trophy for this year. Steve has now won this Trophy for the 7th consecutive
year.
Mark Pryor of Quadrac Racing has announced:
"It is with regret that we announce that this will be our last Wadenhoe Quadmire series. The competitor numbers and logistics no longer make it viable for us to continue with the series."
It is unfortunate that over the last few years' many of these races have clashed with the Frostbite Friendly Running League, but it does go to show that if these races aren't supported then it's a case of "use it or lose it".
