Stromness Open Water Triathlon Festival 2026

The Stromness Open Water Triathlon Festival takes place on 30 August 2026 with event headquarters at the Warehouse Buildings off Ferry Road, Stromness, KA16 3AA. The HQ is about a two minute walk from the Northlink Ferry Terminal. Ample car parking is available approximately 400 metres down Ferry Road. Registration is at the Warehouse Buildings.

Both sprint and standard races begin with a deep water mass start from the Marina slipway. The transition area is located in the Marina-side car park. The bike stage uses an open road course with lap formats. The run follows a 2.5 km loop through the narrow streets of Stromness and uses multiple laps depending on race distance. The finish is adjacent to the swim exit close to the transition area.

Team and relay entries are encouraged. The event will not be chip timed. Minimum age requirements for 2026 are 15 for the sprint race and 17 for the standard race.
