Event Details
Swim in Loch Lomond and then enjoy a MTB spin and mixed terrain run round Balloch Country Park. There are 3 options to choose from ‘The Wee Beastie’, ‘The Bikeless Beastie’ and the main event ‘The Beastie’:
The Beastie comprises a 750m swim in the Loch, 17k off road cycle (three big laps) and 5k run (two laps), finishing in front of the castle, sounds a lot easier than reality and a challenge for even the most experienced of triathletes.
The Wee Beastie a 400m swim in the Loch, 9k off road cycle (two smaller laps) and a 3km run (one lap). A proper wee toughie and a great way to start of before taking on the full Beastie another time, still a great achievement and not to be taken lightly.
The Bikeless Beastie Aquathon a 750m swim and 5k run (two laps), this year it is the Scottish Aquathon Championship.

A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a good day out in the garden.
There is retail therapy with a variety of local craft products – sewn, felted and knitted goods to soaps, ceramics and glassware to cards and jewellery. Enjoy seeing the goods and chatting with their makers.
No Geilston Garden event is complete without the Cake stall, always a great range of homemade cake and a nice hot or cold drink.
However the star of the day is always the Garden which is looking so good, thanks to the hard work and skill of the gardeners and volunteers.
Normal NTS entry fees apply, free to NTS members. See NTS website for details of entry charges and membership. Once in the garden there will be no further charges for activities.
