All races involved running and bike riding.
Elite Energy ran the event and ceo Mark Emerton said hosting it in Goulburn for the first time was a great idea.
"Everyone in town supported us really well," Emerton said.
"Local food vendors, Goulburn Mulwaree Council, Goulburn High School and local traffic control companies were some that helped us out.
"We chose Goulburn because it doesn't get a lot of love when it comes to duathlons due to the town not being a coastal area athletes like to come to.
Emerton is hoping to hold future duathlon events in Goulburn.
