Course details

The off-road bike uses a mixed-terrain lap circuit. The Full and Aquabike use three laps, the Short uses two laps and the Tristars event uses one lap. Each lap passes White Woods, Chapel Chase, Quarry Wood and Lindsay’s Loop and includes some small technical sections with rocks, roots and mud. The full distance and aquathlon run use a mixed-terrain 5 km course that circumnavigates the Clune and an old ironage fort, then returns by the loch to the finish. The Short and Tristars run distances are 3 km and 2.4 km. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
