Dartmouth Triathlon

Blackpool Sands Beach

A379, Dartmouth TQ6, UK

Sat 12th June 2021

Starting at 15:00

Organiser's Description

The Dartmouth Triathlon (formerly the South Hams Triathlon) is back for a 6th year.

New for 2021 are our junior Swim-Runs/Aquathlons and adult swims on Saturday afternoon. 

This sprint distance triathlon event offers a stunning course starting and finishing at Blackpool Sands beach. It's a challenging course with some climbs but also flat sections on both the run and the bike where you can really put the hammer down.

The race begins with a sea swim from Blackpool Sands which is naturally sheltered. Then it's onto the bike for the rolling bike course. You finish with spectator-friendly runs close to the beach using a 1.25K circuit.  The run lanes are completely taped off so you'll be able to run at least 2 abreast on virtually the whole course.

Super-Sprint Option
Our Super Sprint triathlon is ideal for novices or those who are daunted by a 750 metre sea swim. You get to enjoy the full bike course but a shorter run and a shorter swim.

WHAT YOU GET

Quality  t-shirt & swim hat,
electronic chip timing (including transition splits) and prizes.
rare chance to camp at Blackpool Sands the night before (additional
charge of £6 per person)
Feed stations, numbered racking
Water for all finishers in biodegradable PLA cups + fruit, cake & snacks

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.
