Lochore Meadows Sprint Triathlon 2026

7th June 2026 Event Permitting In Progress

Event Information

The Lochore Sprint Triathlon 2026 is an ideal introductory event for those new to open water swim events. The swim distance of 750 metres, the enclosed nature of Lochore and the good safety cover offer a friendly swim environment. The cycle course with all left turns is as safe as any event and the run, entirely within the country park is mostly on paths and is virtually traffic free.

As this involves open water swimming in Scotland wetsuits are required!

Detailed pre race information including a race briefing will be emailed in the week before the event.

Distances:
Swim : 750m (open water)
Cycle : 20km
Run : 5km
