This weekend saw the Bedford Autodrome Sprint Duathlon held by Nicetri events which was a draft legal race. It consisted of a 5km run followed by a 20km bike and then finally a 2.5km run to finish off. The race was a Great Britain Age-Group qualifier for the 2016 Aviles ITU Sprint Distance Duathlon World Championships.

A large amount of the Nicetri duathletes participated in the event with the first chance to race in the new draft legal format.
