The Physical Education Department at BIS Abu Dhabi hosted the annual Duathlon at the school last week. The event was for primary students from Year 1 – Year 6 and participants had to run, cycle and run.

This was the biggest Duathlon with over 200 athletes crossing the finishing line. The event was well-supported by secondary students who volunteered their time to help lead the younger athletes on the running course and assisted in the bike zone.

It was a fantastic event with several students (feeling encouraged by previous years to take part) learning to ride a bike and, using the opportunity to practise for the event by being active with their families over the preceeding weekends.

Congratulations to all students who crossed the finishing line, received a medal and a ‘Goody Bag’.
