Race Distances: Swim 750m open water (Wet Suit compulsory)   Bike 20K   Run 5K General Information: The Offical Sailfish Tighnabruaich Triathlon will take place on the morning of the 1st July 2012 in the beautiful surroundings of Tighnabruaich on the Kyles of Bute. The swim takes place from the tank slip in Kames and will consist of one 750m loop in relatively sheltered waters. The bike route is an undulating 20km loop with an out and back section, the first few km's are flat then a few climbs. The surface is predominantely very good. The 5km run is a flat out and back, following the coast and taking in the stunning scenery of the Kyles of Bute. Video footage, marshall points, pictures and maps with route gradients of the course will be available on the website soon. NO RELAY TEAMS THIS YEAR Tighnabruaich is under two hours' drive from Glasgow via the A82 / A83 Loch Lomond / "Rest and be thankful" route. This takes you via A815 towards Strachur from the A83, just before Cairndow. At Strachur turn onto the A886, then the A8003 at Glendaruel. Alternatively, use the ferry crossing at Gourock on the Clyde coast, giving direct access to Cowal at Dunoon, a 40 minute drive from Tighnabruaich. For this route stay on the M8 westbound to Greenock and continue on to the ferries at Gourock. Whichever option you choose, the last 15 minutes are spectacular as you enter Tighnabruaich, it is worth stopping to enjoy the unparalled views of the Kyles of Bute before you descend into Tighnabruaich.
