Route information

Full Distance Triathlon, Aquabike and Aquathlon

These three events all have a 1000m open water swim in the Loch. The swim is comprised of 2 500m laps with a beach exit after lap 1 before re-entering.

Then for the full-distance triathlon and aquabike, you will follow a 13k 2-lap cycle course around Harran hill. This route will be quite technical, expect to have to navigate rocks, roots, and mud.

Finally, the full-distance triathlon and the Aquathlon will tackle a mixed terrain 5k course passing the hilly Clune and the old ironage fort.

Short Distance Triathlon

This involves a 500 metre swim, one lap of the Loch. Followed by a 7k off-road bike with some technical rocky and muddy sections. Finishing with a final 3k loop to the finish.

Duathlon

The Duathlon starts with a 5k run mixed terrain run where you will pass Clune hill and an old ironage fort. Then you will tackle a 2 lap 13k bike ride, expect some technical rocky and muddy sections. Then finally all duathletes must finish by following a 3k hilly mixed terrain course

Short Distance - Tristars 3

This race consists of a 500 metre 1 lap swim (subject to change), followed by a 6k cycle ride around Harran hill with some technical sections. Finishing on a 2.4k mixed terrain run which follows the park road winding back along the loch.
