Salcombe Gin Sprint Triathlon

Swim - 700m

Cycle - 18km

Run - 3km

This epic event in the wonderful town of Salcombe will put your endurance to the test as you swim, cycle and run through local villages of Salcombe, Hope and Galmpton. Starting from North Sands for a 700m swim in the bay, competitors will then head out on the bike course which has numerous undulations through some stunning South Hams countryside.

Be ready for of the steep sharp inclines and the rolling down hills towards to the sea. Once you're past Inner and Outer Hope there is a steep assault on the hill upto Malboroiugh and a nice finish along the escarpoment from Marlborough to North Sands.

The run aspect is a trail type route into the valley behind north sands with a gentle ascent to Lower Collaton, and back dwon a winding track back to North Sands.

As with all our events our focus is on challenging yourself whilst still having fun in a social and welcoming environment ... and our Triathlon is no different. Whether this is your first try at a TRI, or you are a seasoned professional we welcome all levels, abilities and ages.

Please note if the sea conditions are deemed to rough by the water saftey team the event will revert to a run, cycle run format
