ENTRY OPENS OCTOBER 16th 2024 VIA BALLOT AND X-POINTS
The thirteenth edition of the CELTMAN! Extreme Scottish Triathlon, part of the XTRI World Tour, will take place on June 14th 2025 in Wester Ross, Scotland.
Centred around the stunning ancient Torridon mountains we will take you on an adventure unlike any other.
Make no mistake - when we say this race is extreme we mean it. Please 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.

Torridon, Wester Ross,
Scottish Highlands
SWIM 3.4 km
BIKE 200 km (2200m)
RUN 42 km (1600m)
SWIM 3.4K in cold, jellyfish infested Atlantic waters
The water in Loch Shieldaig is cold, consistently cold.
The extreme nature of the temperature means our swim course is 3.4K. Even with this shortened distance athletes can suffer badly from cold.
In 2013 a severe storm added to the drama with a strong Southerly pushing the competitors off course.
BIKE 200K on incredible Highland roads
The stunning CELTMAN! bike route takes you along some historic single track passes and wide open coastal roads.
The route includes 2200 metres of climbing and can be affected greatly by our varied weather.
It is common to find a strong headwind on the last third of the course, just when you thought you could relax!
Run 42K over two Munros
The CELTMAN! run is unsurpassed for it's challenging nature and beauty, ascending over 1600 metres.
In Scotland any mountain over 3000 ft (914.4 metres) is classed as a Munro. You will attempt two of these during the race on the Beinn Eighe range.
Weather permitting (it's often cloudy) you will have the most incredible vistas.
