Our Triathlon runs in the scenic surrounding of Balloch country park
Beastie Sprint Triathlon & Wee Beastie Novice Triathlon
Take place in July of each year

The Wee Beastie is perfect for first timers with the 400m swim being shallow enough to stand up in at any point. The 8.5km mountain bike route which runs both on and off road then to finish it off a wee 3k run in the lovely grounds of Balloch castle. Not challenging enough? Then try the Beastie, 750m swim, 17km off road cycle and a 5km run.
