Dunham Massey Duathlon - Bramley Farm
The Dunham Massey Duathlon is held at Bramley Farm, Sinderland Road, Timperley, Altrincham. The event offers Sprint and Super Sprint format races and awards a McA Series medal. Entry price is listed as £25.
Participants use a marked transition area to keep bikes, running shoes and nutrition. There is no separate bag drop; participants are asked to keep extra items in their cars. Registration requires an entry confirmation for number collection and a helmet check. All riders must wear a helmet to use the bike course. The mount and dismount lines are clearly marked; competitors must walk or run their bikes between transition and the mount line.
Arrival guidance recommends allowing 30 to 45 minutes before a competitor’s wave to familiarise with transition and ask any questions. Parking is limited at Bramley Farm pub; two hours free parking is available at the Waitrose across the road and on-street parking can be used if additional time is needed. Spectators are welcome and the nearby pub provides food after the event.

Event Briefing Details
Arrival
Please arrive 30 – 45 minutes before your wave start time. This should give you ample time to familiarise yourself with the transition, warm up, discuss any queries you may have with the team and use the facilities if necessary. The Sprint distance start at 09:00 with the Super Sprint starting at 10:00.
Car Parking
There will be limited car parking available at The Bramley Farm public house. There is ample parking at Waitrose over the road from the venue, where you will have 2 hours free parking. If you feel you may need additional time, please utilise safe on-street parking.
Registration
Please bring your entry confirmation email so we can scan you in. You will collect your race number at registration as you arrive at the event where we will also check your helmet. You can then make your way into transition to rack your bike. This will be your area to keep your bike and trainers and any nutrition/hydration you may require during the event.
Transition Area
You can keep your bike, running shoes and any nutrition/hydration you require during the event in and around transition. Please keep any bags or items you will not need during the event in your car. There will be no additional storage available.
Bag Drop
There will not be a bag drop at this event. However, you may keep the things you need for your transition at your transition station. Participants are asked to keep any bags or items away in cars.
Spectators & Support
We love it when spectators come down to cheer their family on. There is no better feeling than crossing that finishing line to a roaring crowd. Come down and cheer.
The pub also does some lovely food so make sure you check that out afterwards.
Start
The start line will be marked and pointed out during our pre-race briefing.
Please be ready to start at your allocated time to avoid holing up any other participants.
Run
Please run on the left side of the pavement to allow for overtaking and returning runners.
Overtaking is allowed but if you are overtaken, please drop back slightly to allow for adequate distance. If you overtake, please move over to the right, but ensure you avoid any oncoming runners.

Ride
The mount line will be well out of the car park/transition area, and it will be marked with a flag. The dismount line will be at the same point as where you mounted your bike.
