Arguably the most challenging triathlon in the world, the CELTMAN takes participants on a 3,8 km swim through freezing Loch Shieldaig, a 200 km on highland roads and a 42 km run though the mountains of the Scottish Highland. Make no mistake – when we say this race is extreme we mean it. Read the race information carefully before entering, as you may have to endure cold water, strong winds, driving rain and difficult conditions on the mountain with low visibility.
“The stunning Celtman 200 km bike route takes participants along some historic single lane roads and wide open, virtually traffic free highland roads. Although there aren’t any mountain passes to boast of the route includes 2200 metres of climbing and being coastal is affected greatly by the unpredictable weather of the Scottish Highlands” – says Andrzej Waszkewicz, Sports Manager.
The Celtman run is unsurpassed for it’s challenging nature and beauty. In Scotland any mountain over 3000 ft (914.4 metres) is classed as a Munro. Participants will attempt two of these during the race on the Beinn Eighe range.
