World Triathlon Results

Alison Peasgood was recruited to triathlon from an athletics background in 2013. She has been a member of the World Class lottery funded British Paratriathlon squad since 2014. Alison is visually impaired and races with a guide athlete in the PTVI (formerly PT5) category.  Alison is a Paralympic Silver Medallist from Rio 2016, guided by Hazel McLeod. In Paris 2024 she placed 4th, guided by Brooke Gillies.

She was drawn to triathlon when injuries stopped her running and friends persuaded her to have a go at triathlon. She had previously swum as a junior and raced in the 1500m on the track at international level. However, it was the 800m where she had most success, including a IBSA world title. She also represented Scotland as an able bodied runner at the World Mountain Trophy.

Alison is a qualified physiotherapist.
