Triathlon
Strathclyde Country Park is located on the south-east edge of Glasgow, near Motherwell.
This satellite venue is a popular destination for recreation and a range of sporting events, including rowing, sailing and cycling.
The central feature of the park is Strathclyde Loch, an artificial body of water which was created in the early 1970s.
The loch will be used for the swimming section of the Triathlon competition, with the cycling and running stages taking place along the surrounding network of roads and pathways.
It has also held major sporting events including the Rowing events for the Edinburgh 1986 Commonwealth Games, and the 2006 Commonwealth Rowing Championships.
The park is not only a haven for sporting enthusiasts - nature enthusiasts also come to see the more than 150 species of wild animals and birds who live in the park.
It is also has a special place in Scotland's musical history - T in the Park was first held at Strathclyde Country Park in 1994.
