Lochore Off Road Triathlon Festival 2026
The Lochore Off Road Triathlon Festival takes place at Lochore Meadows Country Park in Fife on October 4 2026. The 2026 event is the seventh edition and is hosted by a new organising team. The festival is sanctioned by Triathlon Scotland and the Full distance race counts towards the Triathlon Scotland Off Road event rankings.
The festival runs multiple race formats and distances:
- Full Distance Triathlon (MTB): 1000m swim, 14.4km bike, 5km run
- Gravel Triathlon: 500m swim, 21km bike, 5km run

Swims take place in the freshwater of Loch Ore with buoyed courses. The Full distance swim uses two laps with an Aussie style beach exit after lap one; shorter events use a single lap.
The off road bike course is mixed terrain and fast flowing, described as a three lap layout covering 14.4km for the full course. The mountain bike wave includes sections named White Woods, Chapel Chase, Quarry Wood and Lindsays Loop. The Gravel wave follows non technical terrain suitable for gravel bikes.
The Full run is a mixed terrain 5km route that circumnavigates Clune and the Old Ironage Fort before returning along the loch side; shorter runs cover approximately half that distance. Route maps and GPX files will be provided before race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
