Heads up, so as to avoid a clash with the World Championships in Spain next July, we've agreed to move the Monikie Triathlon to Saturday 4th July. It's going to be a standard distance triathlon (with team relay option).

Alongside that, we will be hosting a standard distance Aquabike, which will act as the 2026 British Aquabike Championships, 2026 Scottish National Championships, and also act as one of the three opportunities in 2026 to qualify for the 2027 World Championships Aquabike.

Quite a list!

Entries are going to be limited due to the size of the venue, so make sure to put it in your diary, and follow this page for updates on entries (likely to go live towards the end of the year, or early 2026.)

Thank you all for your invaluable feedback. An unexpected 75 people took time to fill in our post race survey over the last week or so.

You spoke and we listened!

The top 3 likes were:

1. The friendly/welcoming atmosphere
2. The challenging but enjoyable Bike course (inc motivational slogans...)
3. The VOLUNTEERS!

The top 3 dislikes (or suggested improvements) were:

1. The swim (short!)
2. The lack of advance notice on which swim wave individuals were in.
3. The hanging around for swim waves 2 and 3

We value your feedback and really do take it on board. The good news is that dislikes 1+ 2 are easy fixes. Dislike 3 will take a bit more time to see if we can improve, but we'll never please everyone.

For the swim course length, next year we will move the swim buoys further apart, and have a swimmer verify the distance ppre-race. Simple fix.

For the lack of advance notice on swim waves, again, a simple fix. I'll commit to sharing the swim waves with you as part of the race info pack that gets sent out ~3 days before the race.
That should give you plenty of time to plan your pre-race nutrition and toilet trips!

For the swim waves, we manage the swim section this way primarily to make sure we have a proportionate water safety ratio of kayaks to swimmers. It also helps minimise the stress of slower swimmers being overtaken by the fastest swimmers, and to minimise the time our team on the water spend looking after swimmers. It's not always a sunny warm day, so we have to think of them too. We know it may not be popular with age group athletes, or those who want gender specific swim waves, but we feel it strikes a balance appropriate for our resources and for the safety of participants. I will look at ways we can try to minimise the hanging around, but can't promise it will change, if we can't see a significant improvement offered.

In the spirit of keeping the atmosphere of the event fun, energetic and welcoming, we'll also look more closely at the participant experience, and see how we can add to that for next year's event. Think medals, snacks, prizes and prize giving etc.

Most importantly, we want you to come back, so please like and follow our page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/M3TriathlonFestival) for updates and news on next year's event.

Kind regards

Our friends at Tayside Mountain Rescue Team are hosting their annual Glen Clova Extreme Duathlon in September this year.

https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?elid=Y&event_id=15500

I've done it myself a number of times, and it is a wonderful event, in stunning scenery, and with great support, all to raise funding for the mountain rescue team.

I'm guttend i will miss it this year, as i am away on holiday, but am confident everyone who takes part will have a memorable day.

The Glen Clova Extreme Duathlon located around the Glens of Clova and Doll, takes place on 13th September 2025. The Duathlon is supported by Dundee Tiso, The Bank Bar, Dundee and The Glen Clova Hotel, with all proceeds going to Tayside Mountain Rescue.

For those asking, selection for the Celtic Cup is a Triathlon Scotland responsibility, and they will use our results to check who is eligible.

Selection is entirely their responsibility, and they will be in touch by email to let those lucky enough to be selected know the good news.

Fingers crossed for you all! Do us proud in Wales later this year.

Thank you to everyone who took part today.

We've just sent out a link to a short SurveyMonkey, which gives you a chance to tell us what worked, and what didn't. Without your feedback, we can't improve the events for you each year, so check your emails and please take a few minutes to help us out.

Huge thanks to Tayside Mountain Rescue Team who provided medical cover today. The are the unsung heroes, so please consider making a donation if you can.

https://taysidemrt.org/donate/

​But we can’t do it without the tools and equipment needed to save lives (and to protect our own lives whilst out on a rescue). That’s why we’re fully committed to fundraising all year round. It’s also why we appreciate every single penny donated to us.
