This event is untimed and just for fun – the perfect introduction to the sport. Take part in a team of two or three and choose who does what and your distances on the day.
There will be a medal for each team that enters. Suitable for six years plus, swimming aids can be used and children can be accompanied on both the run and bike.
The bike and run will be off-road and take place on a grass surface.
About the Selkirk Route
Selkirk is a town steeped in history and it happens to be the location for our only Standard Triathlon event.
The event’s cycle stage takes participants along the A708 to General’s Bridge into scenic Bowhill Estate, then on to Ettickbridge End, over the ‘swire’, a long and challenging climb, followed immediately by the tricky descent into the Yarrow Valley. The route leads on to the A708 and a fast section back towards Selkirk.
The run route is a flat, fast out and back route alongside the river before joining the A7 to Lindean and then the bridge over the River Tweed. Ample parking is available at the Leisure Centre.
