Strathclyde Country Park is situated at the northern end of the M74 (Exit J5 or J6) - nestling between Hamilton and Motherwell. There is ample Car Parking, a nearby Theme Park and the facility is only a relatively short drive through to Glasgow Centre.

The facilities for Triathlon racing are outstanding. We have full use of the Water Park Sports Centre with changing facilities, restaurant and an elevated viewing terrace. The race will start from the front of the Centre with the swim taking place in the well marked, calm waters of the Country Park Loch. The bike course - 38Km - will be over a challenging seven circuits of closed roads running adjacent to the Loch. Finally, the run will be two laps of a flat, fast 5K loop taking the competitors around the Loch to the side opposite to the Water Park Centre.
