A new extreme event for Scotland is coming soon. The CELTMAN! Extreme Scottish Triathlon will take place on 23 June 2012 in Wester Ross, Scotland. Centred around the stunning Torridon mountains, according to the event organisers, CELTMAN! ‘will take you on an adventure unlike any other.’
CELTMAN! is a long distance extreme triathlon. As the organisers mention in their pre-race summary…
Please take note – this race is HARD. The distances are Ironlike and the terrain severe. You will be expected to complete a sea-loch swim, an arduous cycle and a mountainous run. This will require endurance, stamina, great bike handling skills and off-road running experience.’
Please do not enter this race if you question your own ability to do anything mentioned above.
The route, for the moment, remains under wraps – but you will not be disappointed. Expect this to be one of the hardest days of your life.
Entries will open on 5 November and numbers will be restricted to 150 for the first year of the race. Each athlete will require a support car/crew. One of the crew must be fit and able enough to accompany the competitor during the last leg of the run over a large mountain!
Athletes will need to be in Torridon, Scotland at least the day before the race (22 June 2012). Torridon is remote village and is at least 5 hours drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh. To register interest in the inaugural CELTMAN! race, athletes should email paul[at]durtyevents.com. Entry details will be sent out as soon as they are available along with other relevant updates.
