Welcome to the Off Road Triathlon at Lochore Meadows Country Park   

Sunday 3rd September 2023

Race Website: www.scurryevents.co.uk

Venue: Lochore Meadows Crosshill, Lochgelly KY5 8BA

Short distance: 500m Swim, 6km bike, 2.4km run (Min age 13 - Tristars 3 )

The Tristars short distance (which is a good entry level distance) enjoys a 500 metre 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 with a beach start. As this involves open water swimming in Scotland wetsuits are required! 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 6km cycle which includes a descent of Harran hill. There will be some small technical sections (with rocks, roots and mud) but this will not to be too difficult or challenging (mainly blue with red sections such as the Harran hill descent). 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.

Great facilities exist at the park with many attractions for non competing family supporters.

Competitors will receive a post race drink and snack along with a race memento. More information on prizes and sponsorship will follow in our pre race information and on social media.

Thank you to our event sponsors Fife Properties and Active Root.

Timetable:

To be confirmed in pre-race information but likely to be

3 swim waves followed by a Duathlon wave from 07.30am to 12.30pm - this will be updated shortly once triathlon scotland sanctioning has been passed and all event timings confirmed. 

The race will be run under triathlonscotland rules. You are responsible for knowing the rules and the course. 

For exmple: Drafting on the bike IS permitted, but not between genders (i.e. men can’t draft off women or vice versa).
Cross Bikes are permitted (but may not be the right choice. Up to you).
Any reports of competitors being abusive and/ or aggressive will result in an instant DQ. Please be nice to each other, and remember that the marshals are all giving up their day so that you can race.
In general, stick to normal ‘rules of the road’ – i.e. ride on the left, overtake on the right. If you need to walk, make sure you’re not on ‘the line’ and blocking other cyclists who are able to ride the section.

Health and Safety: This is an off road triathlon bike and a trail run and you will be running on some uneven surfaces. Runners should come adequately prepared for uneven woodland trails, tarmac, and grass and mud surfaces.

All routes are extensively sign posted and marshalled. Safety is paramount and we expect bikers and runners to follow the advice of marshals at all times & take all reasonable precaution.

Please be courteous towards public dog walkers and other path users as they have equal rights and access to trails and paths in and around the Lochore Meadows Country Park.

However, should the Lochore Meadows Country Park (or another 3rd party) not permit a resheduled date within a short timescale and the resource not be available or the weather still unpredictable to reschedule within a month from the scheduled date then we will have no choice but to cancel and offer no refund.
