How the day is laid out

The swim is held in the sea. The wetsuit call is made on race morning, against the temperature measured then.

The organiser publishes 1.9 km of swimming, 92 km on the bike and 21 km of running.

Everyone starts the swim together, in a mass start. The water is usually around 15 °C at this time of year.

The bike course is hilly, with about 2,270 m of climbing.

Typical temperatures for the month run from 9 to 17 °C.

The race was first held in 2022.

This is an extreme triathlon: the course is chosen for its terrain and its climbing, not for speed, and self-sufficiency and a support crew are part of the rules.

No crew needed

The organiser states that Solo Point Five needs no support car, no crew and no support runner, and that it uses much of the main Celtman course over half the distance. The bike crosses what it calls Scotland's only alpine pass; the run is a 21 km trail around the back of Liathach. Source: cxtri.com.
