Back for a third successful year! A swim-bike event ideal for the non-runners among us.
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. Plus there’s the opportunity to camp on the beach for a small additional charge to complete the multisports weekend!

There is the rare opportunity to camp at Blackpool Sands on Saturday Night. You can add camping places to your event booking or book nearer the time.
This event is doing its best to minimise its environmental impact. Here are a few of its initiatives:
For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees
New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.
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 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.
Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.
At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £5 discount.
Can't say a big enough THANK YOU to all who made this event such a great day. A great course and the weather just made it spectacular. Definitely coming back next year! Kerry Parker
