“LIVE on TV, ladies and gentlemen, the slightly crazy Foxlake Triathlon 2019…” says organiser Paul McGreal of Durty Events in the Scottish Borders. “Leave the stresses and strains of the working week behind you, and come and do something fast and furious at the amazing Foxlake Adventures near Dunbar. This is off-road Triathlon like you’ve never, ever, seen it before!”
The race will start in waves – with 150 men and women signed up to take part. “The course will be short – we’re aiming for winning times of around 40-45 minutes. Yep, that’s for the whole lot… Swim, Bike and Run. Take it as fast or as easy as you like – on the rivet, or in the comfort zone. Either way, this should be fun.”
