Triathlon Scotland and partners (Scottish Disability Sport, Lothian Disability Sport, West Lothian Council and GRC & West Lothian Triathlon Clubs) are pleased to host a Disability Triathlon event at Armadale Academy on Sunday 20th May 2018.
The event is a ‘come and try’ event designed for athletes with a disability of any kind to try the sport of triathlon in a fun, supported and relaxed environment. The course is all contained on the grounds of Armadale Academy where there is plenty of space for athlete support and spectators. Each participant will receive a medal on completion of the race as a race day memento.
There will be three distances offered at the event, offering an opportunity for participants who are completely new to the event through to athletes who have tried the sport before. Distances can be found below –
| Event | Swim | Cycle | Run |
| Short | 100m | 800m | 350m |
| Medium | 200m | 1600m | 700m |
| Long | 300m | 2400m | 1050m |
A number of Para Triathlon events have been delivered over the last couple of years, successfully introducing individuals with a disability to the sport of the triathlon. The aim of these events is to provide an introduction to the sport and then support any interested individuals into regular club sessions.
