Welcome to VO2 Max Racing Events

At VO2 Max Racing Events, we are committed to improving the quality of single- and multi-sport events in the North East region. Our focus is firmly on the competitor and straightforward, well organised, good quality races are our trademark. We cater for people of all abilities, young and old, through training to competition and we want you all to have a fantastic experience.

We're delighted to announce that 2013 sees the return of World and European Championship qualifying events to the North East. The Morpeth Duathlon has been granted status as a qualifying event for the 2013 ITU Sprint Distance Duathlon World Championships, to be held in Ottawa, Canada in August 2013. Morpeth is Northumberland's county town and with stunning run and bike routes, it's hard to imagine a better setting for a race.

Meanwhile the Newbiggin Sprint Triathlon, the jewel in the crown of North East triathlon, recevies major event status for the second time, as a qualifier for the 2014 ETU Sprint Distance Triathlon European Championships (location of the championships to be confirmed). With part-closed roads and excellent support from the local community who spectate in their thousands, racing at Newbiggin is deservedly popular and the 2013 race looks set to be bigger and better than ever.
