Torbay Triathlon Spring | Tristar 1

GPX route

The route is displayed on the map above.

Overview

The Torbay Triathlon route offers a safe, fast and spectator-friendly course based entirely within the Torbay Velopark.

Competitors start with a pool swim in the 25m indoor pool before heading onto the Velopark’s smooth, traffic-free tarmac circuit for the bike leg — anywhere from one to 13 laps depending on distance or age group.

The race finishes with a run on the park’s flat, fast 2.5K loop, combining open parkland and paved paths.

With everything contained in one venue, it’s perfect for both newcomers and experienced triathletes chasing quick times in a well-supported environment.

2nd event at Torbay, great triathlon for all abilities and ages. Such a great event. Sarah A

I was a really nervous competitor. The staff were very friendly and patient and answered all my questions. I was not the fastest competitor but everyone was very encouraging around the course. I would not hesitate to attend a sportiva event in the future. Maria H

It was my first tri and it couldn’t have been at a better venue or run by a better organiser. Cat W

My first triathlon but definitely not my last. Super organised event which supported every participant from super speedy to those like myself just getting round. Can't wait to sign up for my next event and get the kids involved! Thank you. Holly H

A great triathlon. We had 3 generations competing and it was good for all of us. Philip T

Reviews thanks to RaceCheck

This event 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.
