The Physical Education (PE) Department at BIS Abu Dhabi hosted the annual Duathlon at the school this week.

An event we have missed for the last three years due to COVID. The event was for students from Year 1 – Year 11. Participants had to run, cycle and run. This was the biggest Duathlon so far with over 235 athletes crossing the finish line. The event was well supported by CAS and 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 super event with several students feeling happy with their achievements, especially for those who spent the winter break learning to ride a bike or improve their running technique.

 

Congratulations to all athletes who passed the finish line and received a medal and a ’Goody Bag’ filled with a T-Shirt, 15 house points, a juice carton, fruit, and an ice lolly. Special thanks to the Community Group for providing the juice, fruit and ice lolly.   

 

Families then enjoyed getting together at the Welcome Back BBQ, thank you again to our wonderful Community Group for organising such a delightful event.
