East Lothian Triathlon Festival Run

East Lothian Triathlon Festival 2026

The East Lothian Triathlon Club presents the East Lothian Triathlon Festival on 30 Aug 2026 featuring seven races on a single day: the Sprint Triathlon Relay which is the Scottish National Relay Championships, Sprint Triathlon Individual, Novice Triathlon Individual, Sprint Duathlon Relay, Sprint Duathlon Individual, Novice Duathlon Individual and a 10 km run. Entries are allocated on a first come first served basis and the closing date for entries is 16 August. Entrants must be 16 years old or older. Pre-race information will be emailed to entrants in the week before the event and swim-wave seeding requires an estimated swim time that can be updated two weeks before the race. Races are run under Triathlon Scotland rules and non-members will need a Race Pass to be insured on race day.

Swim stages take place in the Aubigny Sports Centre pool with 750 m swims for sprint events and 200 m for the novice triathlon. Bike routes use quiet country roads in and around Haddington, with examples given of a 24 km sprint route and an 11 km novice route; roads will remain open to traffic. All bikes must be roadworthy and helmets are compulsory. The bike format is non-drafting and time trial bikes are allowed. Run sections are mainly on pavements using 2.5 km loops; the 10 km run uses two laps of a 5 km loop starting at the race hub in Neilson Park. Relay teams comprise three people and the Sprint Triathlon Relay carries double club championship points with the Race Pass included for relay teams.
