Wonderful event! The staff was very helpful, check in was easy, and the course was challenging but so beautiful. Can’t wait for next year!

Salty Sea Dog Super Sprint Triathlon 9/8/25
Amazing event. Quite challenging!
Great organization. Many thanks to all involved. And special thanks to the safety marshalls in the sea in canoes / kayaks who were vigilant and alert and very helpful.

Well organised, great venue, parking and toilets. Lots of safety cover for the swim, well signed ride and run route. I was near the back of the pack and unfortunately no water at the drinks station on the run and not enough space in transition. Would do this race again.

Fantastic event! A great challenge on the bike, and great to have a sea swim too! Beautiful location, & even the early morning start wasn’t too bad. Thanks to all the organisers!

A great little event in a brilliant location with plenty of parking and amenities
Race entry and competitors information was easy to read and follow
Course was well marked and marshalled the bike course was a little tight at the start and as it was such a hot day lots of traffic and pedestrians (this was mentioned in race briefing) The run was a very simple out and back along the seafront
Nice Medal and merchandise
I did feel the bike course was missing one Marshall at one intersection
And finding the retails/timings was a bit of a challange to find as the link didn’t seem to work
not a course if your PB hunting but a fab friendly and fun first time event or looking to add a sea swim event into your races
I would recommend it
