Irvine Sprint Triathlon : Triathlon Scotland National Sprint Distance Championships
The Irvine Sprint Triathlon, organised by Ayrodynamic Triathlon Club, takes place on the Ayrshire coast and incorporates the 2026 Triathlon Scotland National Sprint Distance Championships. The event uses open water and local roads and paths around Shewalton pond, Irvine Beach Park and Shewalton Woods.
Distances:
- Swim: 750 m one lap in Shewalton pond.
- Bike: 20 km two laps on a fairly flat route to Irvine Harbour.
- Run: 5 km out-and-back on tarmac paths through Shewalton Woods.
The swim uses a deep water start in gender- and time-based waves and has kayak safety cover. The bike course is on fully open roads and riders must follow the Highway Code; the course may change for roadworks. If water conditions require cancellation of the swim, the event may be run as a duathlon.
Relay teams consist of three participants, each completing one discipline; teams may be single or mixed gender. Overall and age-group prizes will be awarded, and national championship medals are available in five-year age categories for eligible Triathlon Scotland members. A post-race buffet is provided by club members and the day concludes with an awards ceremony.
Participant notes include a minimum-age statement from the organiser and a published refund policy: until four weeks prior 50% refund or deferral, until two weeks prior 25% refund, and full refund if a place is filled from the waiting list. The organiser follows British Triathlon rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
