Organiser's Description

The Dartmouth Triathlon returns for a 12th Year. You start with a stunning swim in the clear waters of Blackpool Sands. Then it’s onto the bike for the stunning out and back ride via Slapton, which features Devon’s flattest road. You finish with an out & back run up the picturesque Blackpool Valley Road following a stream gently rising up to the turn. By creating a second ‘bike drop’ transition on the other side of the A379 we are able to eliminate the road crossing from the race which prevented us using this run in past years.

Numbers are strictly limited to 350 for the triathlons so early registration is advised!

We also have our increasingly popular 750m, 1500m & 3K sea swims on Saturday evening. And there’s the chance to camp on the beach for a small additional charge

Full water safety from Teignmouth Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

Tough but fun & friendly event. Another fun and we'll organised event. The setting is spectacular, transition is nestled in a cove surrounded by woods. The swim is across the foreshore with lots of lifeguards for those who aren't a fan of OW, and the stunning scenery on the bike leg more than compensates for the tough climbs at the beginning/end. The run is basically flat (by Devon standards) too. Camping is available right next to the start line, although NO DOGS allowed on site. Only thing to be aware of is the gravelly nature of the beach and into transition.
