Forfar Triathlon

Forfar Triathlon

Welcome to the sixth Forfar Triathlon delivered by Tri Angus Limited. We are organising two races on Sunday, 26 July 2026. These are:

• Novice race ideal for those new to triathlon, and
• Sprint race for those with a little more experience or who are a little more daring!

The races are based at Forfar Community Campus. The swim takes place in the superb 6 lane swimming pool. The bike route works its way through Forfar before introducing you to some of the local countryside. Finally, participants will enjoy some stunning scenery on the run route as it hugs the banks of Forfar Loch. The distances are shown below.

No portion of the entry fee goes to TMR; any money received by TMR will come from fundraising undertaken by participants or by participants pledging support via the optional charity donation box on the event sign up page.
