Parking

There is plenty of parking at the cafe. Anyone camping at the Activity Centre on Saturday night is asked to cycle or walk over to the start in the morning.

You start with a swim in the lake, where swimming is not normally permitted. Then it’s onto the quiet local roads for the one lap bike.

Sportiva Events is doing its best to minimise the environmental impact of this event. Here are a few of their initiatives:

Sustainability

• Trees not tees

  For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees

• Avoid single-use plastics

  New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.

• Optional medals

  Lots of competitors are not interested in finishers' medals so they are now optional. A £2 charity donation is made for every medal not selected.

• Swim hats on request

  Swim hats are provided for open water swimming events as they help the water safety teams keep track of swimmers. However for all pool events, swim hats are now on request to reduce wastage.

• Reuseable zip ties and recycling

  Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.

• Reducing car use

  At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £5 discount.

Included

• Quality event t-shirt (choice of cotton or tech)
• Finishers medals for all
• Podium prizes
• Professional event photos (photos free with Sportiva Events logo at social media resolution. Hi-res downloads with no watermark and prints are available for an additional charge)
• Free silicone Swim hats
• Personalised race number (entries 2 weeks before the race)
• Secure transition
• Numbered racking
• Toilets
• Public Liability insurance
• Professional RFID chip timing
• British Triathlon permit

Awards and medals

There is a custom medal for all finishers.

In addition there are podium medals for the Top 3 overall in a number of categories. These will vary depending on entry numbers.

Please note there is a one-prize per-person policy. So if a vet is the overall winner they will get that medal and prize and the other Vet 40s will move up one place.
