Welcome to the 2025 East Lothian Triathlon Festival, delivered by the East Lothian Triathlon Club.

We have 6 races on Sunday 31st August 2025. This is for the Sprint Distance Duathlon (Individual and Relay only).

 For our other races on the day see East Lothian Triathlon Festival 2025 - EntryCentral

Haddington Sprint Duathlon (and Relay)

The 5km run takes place on (mainly) pavements comprising 2 loops of a 2.5km route taking in Haddingtons scenic riverside. The 20km bike route takes in some quiet, fast and scenic country roads in and around Haddington.  The final run is another lap of the 2.5km loop.

Cross the finishline at the Race hub and soak in the atmosphere.

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
