Our Locations
CAMPBELTOWN
Super Sprint Triathlon
Kicking off our series is our Super Sprint Triathlon. The swim will be situated in Aqualibrium Leisure Centre for a 400m pool swim. We want this race to be inclusive for beginners and know that an open water sea swim can be daunting.
Following from the swim there will be a very flat 10km out and back cycle
along the Le’arside road which will give you superb
views over to Davaar, Arran and Ailsa Craig and if
it’s particularly clear you can see all the way to
Ayrshire. The event will culminate with a 2.5km run
loop up High Askomil and returning along Low
Askomil, finishing in Kinloch park.
CAMPBELTOWN
Sprint Triathlon
The Sprint Distance Triathlon has a change of location this year from Southend to Campbeltown. The race will include a deep water start in Campbeltown Loch, swimming 750m open water back to shore. Followed by a 19km bike route out towards seaside village of Peninver to Ballochgair where you will turn and make your way back with some spectacular countryside which will give you superb views over the Kilbrannan Sound to Arran, Davaar Island and if it’s particularly clear, you can see Ailsa Craig. The event will culminate with a 5km run back in Campbeltown along the lochside road finishing on Kinloch Green.
MACHRIHANISH
Standard Distance Triathlon
The Standard Distance Triathlon will be centred around Machrihanish village and MACC park, which is situated on the South Western edge of the Kintyre peninsula, only 10 miles West of Campbeltown. The race will include a 1500m open water sea swim, followed by a very flat 41km out and back cycle which is only on public roads for 6 km in total, with the rest of the course on partially closed roads within MACC business park. The event will culminate with a challenging 10km out and back run course, which provides some of the best views in Kintyre out to the Irish coast line, the inner Hebrides before finishing in front of the old Club House.
Junior Aquathon
This year we are having 3 Junior Aquathon's!!
These will be on the same dates and in the same locations as our Triathlons.
Our first will be a pool swim in Aqualibrium Lesiure Centre with a park run around Kinloch Green.
Aquathon no 2 will be a deep water start in Campbeltown Loch swimming inshore to Dalintober beach with a shoreline road run along Campbeltown Loch.
Lastly will be an open water swim in Machrihanish followed by a countrside road run.
