Duathlon makes welcome return to Neyland

THE Pembrokeshire Duathlon returned to Neyland on Sunday (Mar 6) with over 100 athletes taking part and finishing.

The event has been held every year since 2008, with the exception of 2021 because of the covid-19 pandemic, and athletes were excited to get back on the course.

Athletes endured a 5k run, a 20k bike ride and a 2.5k run to finish off.

Mayor of Neyland Simon Hancock started the race from Brunel Quay on a cold and sunny morning.

First across the line was the relay team of Team Watt who completed the course in a time of 01:03:01.4.

The first male to finish was Rupert Milton whose finishing time was 01:05:05.7. Just two seconds behind him was Richard Landon.
