A junior duathlon, combining running and cycling into one race, is being held in the district as part of the build-up to the London Olympics.

Youngsters aged eight to 16 are invited to take part in the event, being staged at Marley Activities and Coaching Centre, in Keighley, on May 20.

Participants can choose how many 1km laps they wish to complete. The minimum distance is 3km – a one-lap run, one-lap cycle and further one-lap run – but youngsters can tackle up to 11km, comprising five laps of cycling and three-lap runs.
