You will need to enter your estimated swim time, but don't worry, we will ask again 2 weeks before the race if you want to update it. This is to ensure fair and safe seeding for swim waves.

Detailed pre-race information will be emailed out to entrants in the week before the event.

The timetable is to be confirmed in pre-race information but for the triathlon it is likely to start with a number of swim waves commencing from 8/9am.  All other events will be shortly after this.

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis until we are at full allocation. Earlybird prices are limited to the fist few entrants only.

All bikes must be roadworthy and helmets are compulsory. The bike route takes place on quiet roads and therefore suitable for those new to triathlon, but please note that the roads will not be closed and you will be cycling on roads which are open to traffic.  It is the responsibility of all competitors to obey the rules, observe the Highway Code and be courteous and considerate to any member of the public encountered during the race.

The races will be run under triathlonscotland rules. You are responsible for knowing the rules and the course. More information can be found at www.triathlonscotland.org
