Welcome to the event page for the Annual Jake Porter Duathlon, hosted by the SHetland Triathlon Club.

We are back, for our second post-COVID Duathlon! Its a great opportunity if you want to dip your toe into multi-sport events, especially if you are not keen on the swim. The event is in memory of Jake Porter and raises money for the excellent charity: CHAS, who provide hospice services for children and young people with life-shortening conditions. We would love to see you there. 

Due to restrictions on insurance for the event, all competitors must be over 16.
