Winter Grand Tour | Virtual Scottish National Championships

We are excited to announce our partnership with the Winter Grand Tour, working alongside event lead Henry Wright, and raising money for Big Moose and Surfers Against Sewage.

This year’s edition will double as the Virtual Scottish National Championship, featuring six Zwift rides, two 5km runs, and one pool swim. Athletes will be scored on their best five results across the nine available events.

We’re also hoping to see a Scottish club crowned champions in the Club Competition! The title is currently held by Perth Triathlon Club. In the club competition, clubs also have the opportunity to get points in the B division with their athletes 5th-8th highest points counting towards their total.

Running Rounds

These can be completed any time during the calendar months stated. Register a result by email with any of the following: parkrun result* (preferred) or other race link (measured course), stopwatch-timed track session (track sessions must be timed by someone else – ideally a run leader/timed club session and not rely on GPS). Any free-runs should avoid tight loops for this reason. A PowerOf10 link may be requested.

*Please send your result link, not Strava data, or Strava “best 5km” data as these are often unreliable

December 2025 : 5km
March 2026 : 5km

Swim Round

This can be completed any time in February 2026. 1km pool swim. Timed by someone else. In-water start. Ideally club session/small groups with a trusted timer. Results will be scrutinised and can be challenged by club captains.
