Lochore off-road Triathlon Festival 2022

Welcome to the 2022 Off Road Triathlon Festival at the scenic Lochore Meadows country Park hosted by Scurry Events.

There are 2 triathlon distances a full distance and a short distance. The Aquabike is the perfect low impact activity for those averse to running or are injured and unable to run and the Bikeless Lochore Aquathlon offers a 3rd alterntive to the mix for those who like to swim and run. For those who wish to miss out on the swim we there is also a Duathlon option to choose.

The full distance triathlon, Aquabike and Aquathlon all enjoy a 1000 metre swim in the beautiful fresh water of Loch Ore with good safety cover within a friendly swimming environment. The swim will be 2 laps of 500 metres with an Aussie style beach exit after lap 1 to re-enter the swim for lap 2. As this involves open water swimming in Scotland wetsuits are required!

Each lap takes in a descent of Harran hill. There will be some small technical sections (with rocks, roots and mud) but this will not to be to difficult or challenging (mainly blue with red sections such as the Harran hill descent).
