Hazel Macleod is a triathlete and PTVI guide who guided Alison Peasgood and Melissa Reid at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, respectively.
Macleod acted as a guide for Alison Peasgood when paratriathlon made its debut at the Rio De Janeiro Paralympic Games in 2016, with the pair taking home silver for Great Britain.

In 2014, Hazel won both the national Sprint and Standard distance national titles in her Age-Group (25-29).
Hazel also has an MSc from Newcastle University in Sustainable Water Management.
