This will be the 4th Edinburgh Women's Triathlon. Last year entries sold out in an impressive 3 weeks and hopefully we will have as many of you willing to have a go again this year. The race is being held one week later than the previous 2 years and being in July we are hoping the weather will be kind to us. Last year we had a good crowd of family and friends spectating and it we would encourage you to bring as many people as you want along to cheer you along and celebrate with you at the finish line.

Edinburgh Triathletes is keen to encourage more people to take up the sport and we hope by competing in this novice race you will get the bug and want to become more involved. Remember triathlon is for all levels and all abilities, all shapes and all sizes.

We are continuing to run this race on the same day as the Edinburgh Triathletes Kids Aquathlon so why not get the whole family involved. Please note due to the increasing number of children wishing to compete in the Aquathlon we will be starting the women;s race at 12 noon (registration from 9.30am to 11am). There will be food and refreshments available afterwards to reward your efforts.
