St Mary’s Loch Aquabike

For those averse to running or unable to run due to injury this is the perfect low impact alternative.  The Aquabike will follow the same swim course and bike route as the triathlon and will continue into transition (T2) as per the new BTF rules. You will then exit T2 via the run route, where you will be directed by the marshals to the finish line.  Swim: 1500m Open Water in the freshwater St. Mary's Loch. Two laps. Wetsuits compulsory. Bike: 40km Road Bike in the Yarrow and Moffat Water valleys, head along the A708 towards Moffat for 20km. It's a gradual climb past Loch of the Lowes and up to the watershed pass that separates the Scottish Borders from Dumfries & Galloway. Then comes a fast swoopy descent past the Grey Mares Tail waterfall. The road undulates along the valley floor all the way to the turn point at 20km, then it's back the way you've come, including the grind back up to the pass!.
