Event: Come and Tri

Bike: 10k

The Pool swim will take place in the brand-new swimming facility within the Galashiels Community Campus, located just a stone’s throw from the former Galashiels Swimming Pool. This upgraded venue is part of a wider development project and, as such, there is currently no dedicated parking available at the new pool. All event-day parking will therefore be on-street parking in the surrounding area.
The pool is a 25m, 6-lane facility. The swim will run in waves based on competitors’ submitted estimated swim times. Transition will be located in the adjacent area, which will be sealed off for event use. Please avoid parking at Livingstone Place, as access will be restricted.
The cycle route in Galashiels offers a challenging climb over Windyknowe and on to the A72 passing by Torwoodlee estate en route to Clovenfords village. You will tun in Clovenfords and follow the same path back to the pool.
Our Galashiels events offer a superb running route, with a cultivated woodland trail through Gala Policies. The Policies are defined as “the enclosed grounds of a large house, the park of an estate” as it houses the ruins of the original New Gala House, The former home of the Scotts of Galashiels.
