Race information

Athletes will compete in an exciting multi-race, multi-distance format as below:

Youth A 

Race 1: 800m swim, 1km run

Race 2: 500m swim, 1.5km run

Race 3: 300m swim, 2km run

Youth B / Junior

Race 1: 800m swim, 1km run

Race 2: 500m swim, 2km run

Race 3 : 300m swim, 3km run

with all three results contributing to their overall result.

Athletes WILL be expected to genuinely race (not just complete) ALL 3 races and all 3 races will count with scoring working as follows,

The 2 best results will score full points and the worst result will score 50% points. As per previous the athlete who wins will score 1 point, 2^nd place will get 2 points, 3^rd 3 points, etc, and the athlete with the lowest score overall will win.

If an athlete is a DNS or DNF in any of the races they will take whatever points come with last place so if there are 40 starters, they’ll be placed 40^th – if 2 athletes drop out the person who goes the furthest will place in front of the other athlete and DNF will beat a DNS.

So,

• If an athlete finishes 5^th, 8^th and 10^th they will score 5+8+(10/2) = 18 points
• If an athlete  finishes 1^st , 2^nd and DNS the third race (from a field of 40 athletes) they’d score 1+2+(40/2) = 23 points

Our Sprint Aquathlon is the ideal event for seasoned triathletes or beginners aged 15 and over* looking to take on a bit more of a challenge. 

Participants will complete a 800m open water swim followed by a 5km run within the park. Please note that this event will have a deep water start and the swim course will be in deep water, so it is important you are comfortable with this. 

Triathlon Scotland are committed to inclusion and supporting women's participation in our sport. As such we will offer defferal for up to two years to pregnant women to support their participation in swim, bike, run events. There will be a generous cut-off for the swim section (based only around safety in the water), and no cut-off for the run. 

You will require use of a wetsuit for the swim section. If you would like to take part but do not have all the essential equipment, please contact lochore@triathlonscotland.org, and we will do our best to offer help and advice where possible.

Triathlon Scotland can give you help and advice to help you prepare to take part in the event, including directing you to local clubs and training sessions. Please contact lochore@triathlonscotland.org.

TriStar 2 (age 11-12*) athletes will complete two seperate short aquathlons with their combined results producing their final result, as below. 

Race 1

300m open water swim - 1.2km run 

Race 2

200m open water swim - 1.5km run

Please note that this event will have a deep water start and the swim course will be in deep water, so it is important you are comfortable with this. 

Both races will count with scoring working as follows,

For each race the athlete who crosses the line first will score 1 point, 2^nd place will get 2 points, 3^rd 3 points, etc, and the athlete with the lowest score overall will win.

If an athlete is a DNS (did not start) or DNF (Did not Finish) in either of the races they will take whatever points come with last place so if there are 20 finishers, they’ll be placed 21^st, a DNF will be placed in front of a DNS.

Should 2 or more athletes finish on the same total amount of points, then their time from both races will be added together to differentiate between them. It is therefore important that athletes complete both courses as fast as they can.
