Overview

You 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. You finish with an out-and-back run up the picturesque Blackpool Valley Road following a stream gently rising up to the turn. By creating a second ‘bike drop’ transition on the other side of the A379 the road crossing has been eliminated from the race.

This event offers you a rare chance to camp at Black pool Sands on Saturday night!

This event is part of Dartmouth Triathlon.

Sustainability

  • Trees not tees

  • 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.

This was my first ever triathlon and it was truly fantastic. We camped on the beach the night before which was a lovely opportunity and so nice to wake up to the sound of the waves. The event was well organised and the staff were happy to answer all of my questions. The track was well sign posted and there were marshals at key points throughout. The cycle was hillier than I thought but not impossible, a great challenge. I will 100% be looking out for more Sportiva Events soon! Erin M
