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

• Finishers medals for all and podium medals
• Free silicone swim hats

• Secure transition
• Professional event photographs (photos free with Sportiva Events logo at social media resolution. Hi-res downloads with no watermark and prints are available for an additional charge)
• Numbered racking
• Public liability insurance
• Professional chip timing
• British Triathlon permit

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
