Parking

Please allow enough time for parking. Because of the road closure you may have to walk or jog to the start from where you have parked.

A fantastic first time doing a sportiva event and my first ever standard distance triathlon. The course was very well organised and a great route. The professional photos were also great which showed that I really did smile through every minute!! Would recommend to anyone wanting to race, especially a first timer and I would do this race again!

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
