New Year’s Day Triathlon

1st January 2027 Event Permitting In Progress

Event Information

Edinburgh Triathletes welcome you the New Year’s Day Triathlon! We are truly proud of our event, this is the 31st edition of what has become a fixture in the calendar.

The race was introduced as part of the Edinburgh Hogmanay Festival and we are pleased to say we have kept going as long as the partying has.

As always we aim to make this a great start the year of sport in Scotland.

This is a race for everyone; a fun race for those who have never done a triathlon before (last year half of the field were triathlon virgins) or a competitive test of winter fitness for the experienced. The race gives you the opportunity to start the year as you mean to continue – and with a great atmosphere from the support of both competitors and spectators you will have a great time.
