The Gullane Beach Triathlon, hosted by Edinburgh Triathletes, is a highly regarded Standard Distance event celebrated for its stunning coastal setting and challenging course. Participants tackle a dynamic 1500m open-water swim in Gullane Bay, uniquely featuring a brief beach run between two laps, ensuring wetsuits are compulsory for the typically cool North Sea waters. This is followed by a 42km multi-lap bike segment on the undulating, quiet country roads of East Lothian, where adherence to the Highway Code is paramount. The race culminates with a demanding 10km run, consisting of two laps of a hilly, predominantly off-road circuit, offering breathtaking sea views throughout. Whether competing individually or as part of a three-person relay team, athletes are drawn to this "bucket list" race for its blend of scenic beauty and competitive rigor, making it one of Scotland's most iconic triathlons.
