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 plus podium medals
• Free silicone swim hats
• Camping available (additional charge)
• Personalised race number (entries 2 weeks before the race)
• Secure transition
• Numbered racking
• Toilets
• Public liability insurance
• Professional RFID chip timing
• Full Covid-19 measures
• British Triathlon permit

Absolutely fantastic event, very well run, great atmosphere, incredible location, good selection of distances to choose from and great that aquabike was included. Paul B

Stunning venue. The lake swim was brilliant and there were an amazing number of water safety team members on kayaks, paddle boards and motor boats. Excellent registration which we collected the day before and checked out the run and bike route  Chris D

Superb race, very well organised and great course. Bike was challenging but very rewarding. Awesome support on the run. The water safety team on the lake was very impressive and reassuring. Great prizes too and entry fee is reasonable. Thank you. Natasha D

Another absolutely brilliant event, I loved the swim, the bike route was superb and the run leg varied and interesting. Thank you again Ben and crew for a great triathlon. Philippa R
