The swim is staged in the leisure centre pool and athletes are started in waves determined by submitted estimated swim times. Transition is located in the car park adjacent to the pool. Ample parking is available at the leisure centre. The event can be completed by relay teams.

The bike route follows the A708 to General’s Bridge, enters Bowhill estate, continues to Ettickbridge End, climbs over the "swire" then descends into the Yarrow valley, and returns on the A708 towards Selkirk. The run is a flat, fast out and back along the river, joining the A7 to Lindean and then the bridge over the River Tweed.
