The Wee, The Beltie and Big Beltie Triathlons

Three fantastic options. The iconic Belted Galloway breed is our local emblem and the wee festival we have designed has used the Beltie as our inspiration.
The Wee Beltie is an opportunity for people to try out the sport. Using a Go Tri approach to a mini event with a swim of around 200m a bike route of 10kms and a run of around 3kms.
The Beltie is the classic standard distance in a beautiful location. South West Scotland is often missed by the masses and is therefore a quiet place to race. The 1500m swim takes place in a slow moving section of the river Dee at Crossmichael Marina, the Bike is one lap of Loch Ken, a very fast route with a few undulations, followed by a testing run with a small section of trail to start the lap.
The Big Beltie is a middle distance event which will take place on the standard distance route, a two lap swim, a two lap bike route with a small extension from the standard distance route and two laps of the run course.
The welcome in the village is fantastic, post race tea and cakes in the village hall takes you back to the old days of triathlon.
