The standard distance race includes running 2 laps (8.6 km), cycling 9 laps (38.8 km) and finishing with running one last lap (4.3 km) around the race track, totalling 51.7 km.
The Oulton Park Spring Sprint Duathlon 2012 starts at 9.30 am and the standard distance race starts at 12 noon. Entrants for both races will line up on the starting grid with transition in the pit lane.
