Our Family Event is all about fun, flexibility, and getting everyone involved!

One person kicks things off with the swim, and from there, you decide who takes on the bike and the run, or if you all want to run and bike that is ok too? Go for it! You can even choose your distances on the day, making it as easy-going or adventurous as you like.
Whether you’re racing with kids, friends, or family, this is your chance to share the triathlon experience in a way that works for you. No pressure, just smiles, support, and a whole lot of fun!

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.
