Kelso Sprint Triathlon and Come+Tri
The Kelso Sprint Triathlon and Come+Tri is part of the Live Borders Triathlon Series. Located in the Scottish Borders, the event is based at the Kelso Swimming Pool and offers two distinct distances:
- Sprint Triathlon: 750m pool swim, 20k bike, and 5k run.
- Come + Tri: 400m pool swim, 10k bike, and 2.5k run.
The swimming portion takes place in the Kelso Swimming Pool, with starts organized in waves according to estimated swim times provided by participants. The transition area is situated in the car park immediately adjacent to the pool facility.
The cycle routes take competitors through the countryside toward the village of Ednam and up to Stitchel before returning to Kelso. The running course leads from the town centre toward the local golf course, passing along Croft Park. Participants pass several historical landmarks during the event, including the boundaries of Floors Castle and Kelso Abbey.
Parking is not available at the sports centre itself as the site is closed to vehicles for the event. Alternative parking can be found a short distance away at Edenside School, Edenside Surgery, and Kelso High School. Competitors who are not members of a British Triathlon Home Nation are required to obtain a British Triathlon Race Pass for the event.
