Welcome to the 2026 Off Road Triathlon Festival at the scenic Lochore Meadows country Park.
There are 3 triathlon distances this year - a NEW Gravel wave, a full distance and a short distance. The Aquabike is the perfect low impact activity for those averse to running or are injured and unable to run and the Bikeless Lochore Aquathlon offers another alterntive to the mix for those who like to swim and run. For those who wish to miss out on the swim we there is also a Duathlon option to choose.
For all the mountain bike inclusive events - Triathlon Scotland recommends mountain bikes . If you use a Cross or Gravel bike they are strict on making sure you don't have drop handlebars as these aren't allowed. The triathlon Scotland referees for safety reasons will stop you racing with drop handlebars and ask you to change your bike. If you have a Gravel with drop handle bars then you can join the NEW gravel wave for Gravel bikes only.
In addition you will also only be able to use this event to qualify for any GB Age group events if you ride on a Mountain bike.
The NEW Gravel wave triathlon enjoy's a 500m swim in the beautiful fresh water of Loch Ore with good safety cover within a friendly swimming environment. The swim will be 1 lap of 500 metres. As this involves open water swimming in Scotland wetsuits are required!

There will be some small technical sections (with rocks, roots and mud) but this will not to be too difficult or challenging. Note as there is work to NEW trails taking place over the summer at the Park we will confirm the final routes in the weeks leading up to the event be we will have a fun route set out for race day!

Please note the swim may yet change to 300m to be within the recomended britsih traithlon 300-350m tristars 3 distance range but we are hopeful we can receive a waiver for this event.
The off road bike will then take on a fast flowing 4.8km cycle over a 1 lap course. Taking in White Woods, Chapel Chase, Quarry Wood and Lindsay's Loop. There will be some small technical sections (with rocks, roots and mud) but this will not to be too difficult or challenging. No road bikes permitted - mountain bikes preffered.
The run then takes in a mixed terrain 2.4km course which heads out of the park road and winds back in by the loch side to the finish.
