Results of the Duathlon National Series 2022
Ciara Wilson and Anthony O’Brien have won the 2022 Duathlon National Series, and what an incredible series it was!
Over the first four months of this year, hundreds of duathletes braved the often less than ideal weather to run, bike and run. Returning for the first time since 2020, the atmosphere at this group of races was second to none. Congratulations to all the race organisers, clubs and volunteers!
Scoring is based off an athlete’s best two Series results plus their National Duathlon Championships result.

Just a Few Points In It

It’s 2021 National Champ Paul Carroll in second. With wins at Metalman and Naas, it came down to the 2022 National Champs in the Phoenix Park to decide the series winner.
