Scotish Triathlon 2014

The Series, which includes triathlon events in six Scottish Borders towns: Galashiels, Selkirk, Peebles, Hawick, Kelso and Eyemouth, is set to attract hundreds of competitors across the summer months.  Organised by Borders Sports and Leisure, this year’s series kicks off on Sunday April 20^th in Galashiels.

Ewan Jackson, Chief Executive of Borders Sport and Leisure Trust said: “We are looking forward to an action packed Triathlon series.  Last year’s events attracted virtually capacity attendances so we are keen to encourage athletes to register for this year’s series as soon as they can to be sure not to miss out on a place.  The combination of solid organisation, and the stunning Borders countryside has led to a continual growth in interest in the Series and we are hoping that competitors from across the country will choose to join us again this year.”

In addition to the main triathlon events complementary “come and try” tasters will also be held in five of the towns.
