Organiser's Description

The Nairn Triathlon is brought to you by Triathlon Inverness, and supported by Triathlon Scotland. After a sea swim on the East beach, the bike course takes you through the Nairnshire countryside and the run course has beautiful views over the Moray Firth. Whichever race you choose we hope it will be an enjoyable event for all. We are supported by a friendly team of volunteers who will make it a great day out.

There are several events to choose from over the two days:

Saturday 5 July 2025: Super Sprint and Standard Triathlon

REFUNDS

In the unfortunate event you need to withdraw from the race please let us know at the earliest oppertunity by emailing nairntriathlon@yahoo.com. This will enable us to allocate your space to somebody on the waiting list. 

At the organisers discretion, 75% refunds (minus EntryCentral fees) will be issued to any competitor who withdraws from the event by Sun 8 June 2025 (23:59).

Withdrawals after that date will not be refundable even if the event sells out.

RACE PASS
In order to ensure you have adequate third party insurance for the race you will need a valid home nation race licence. If you have Core or Ultimate membership of Triathlon Scotland (or Welsh Triathlon or Triathlon England) then this provides you with a race licence. Please ensure you add your membership number to your EntryCentral account and bring proof of your current membership to registration on race day.

If you don't have home nation membership you will need to purchase a British Triathlon race pass. This option can be selected at checkout.

If you aren’t already a member of Triathlon Scotland, why not consider joining to experience the range of benefits this offers as well as helping to support the development of the sport. Click here for more information.
