The UK's nearly most Northerly Standard Distance Triathlon starts at Kirkwall Swimming Pool in Orkney's historic capital. The out and back cycle takes you south of the town on undulating roads. The run is as picturesque as the cycle - if you get a chance to look - and takes you east and down to the shore with a steady climb back into town and then back down to the pool and the finishline.

This is a Triathlon Scotland Ranked event

Team entries are actively encouraged.
