Bali Double Road Race Festival

Bali Double Road Race Festival 2015
Tampaksiring 19 April 2015

The Double Road Race® is a new sport and a new challenge for runners of all abilities.


Help us celebrate the growth of the sport at the 1st Annual Bali Double Road Race Festival. Until you're seeing DOUBLE,it's just another RUN!


The Double Road Race® was featured in June the issue of Runner's World magazine.

The Double does not involve running two races in one day. Rather, it is a distance race run in two segments, with a recovery break in between.


“It’s the only running event with a halftime," says Bob Anderson, creator of the Double Road Race and the sport of Double Road Racing and founder and former publisher of Runner’s World magazine. "The Recovery Zone was created to help you get ready for the second leg of the Double."

Rather than being two races run within a short time span, the essence of the Double and its inherent challenge can best be summed up this way: How do I pace myself through a 10K, then a 5K which starts 105 minutes after the start of the 10K to register my best combined time?


Combined time is what counts. The only thing that counts, not who won either leg, because it is possible to win the Double without winning either the 10K or 5K.


An integral part of the Double Road Race® is the Halftime featuring the Recovery Zone. While competitors can do whatever they want during the time between the finish of the 10K and the start of the 5K, a formal Recovery Zone is provided where competitors can get everything from nutrition and hydration to massage.

The Recovery Zone also serves as a social environment for competitors to meet and greet fellow runners.
For the Double 15k, Start by Running 10K - Relax and Recover during Halftime - Finish by Running 5k
and in the Double 5k, Start by Running 3K - Relax and Recover during Halftime - Finish by Running 2k
Children 13 and under enjoy their own event, the Kids Cup 2.4k. The kids will run 1.6 K (1 mile) and then after the half time, another .8 K (half mile)
