Shetland Sprint Triathlon
The Shetland Sprint Triathlon takes place on 26 Jul 2026 at West Mainland Leisure Centre in Aith, Shetland. The event is organised by Shetland Triathlon Club and uses the pool and leisure centre grounds for transitions and the run finish.
Distances:
- 750 m swim in a 16 m pool
- 20 km cycle on a westbound route toward Bixter Junction and Papa Stour Ferry then returning to Aith
- 5 km run made up of six short laps around the Aith Leisure Centre grounds
The swim is pool based. The cycle departs from the pool facility and follows a mapped route. The run consists of repeated laps finishing at the leisure centre.
Competitors must be 15 years or older on 31 December 2026. Parental consent is needed for competitors aged 15 to 17 years. Participants who are not members of one of the Home Nations Triathlon Federations must purchase a British Triathlon race pass; race pass costs are listed as £2.00 plus £0.08 service charge for those aged 24 and under, and £8.00 plus £0.32 service charge otherwise.
Individuals should register at Aith Leisure Centre to collect race numbers and bike rack slots; entrants are asked, optionally, to provide an expected 750 m swim time to help organise heats. All bikes must be roadworthy and helmets are compulsory. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
