Overview

This totally traffic-free venue is the perfect way for anyone to start in the sport of triathlon, with a pool based swim, followed by a Velopark ride on smooth, flat tarmac and a flat parkland run. There is also a category for relay teams.

The swim, in the 25m pool is followed by between one and 13 laps on the super-smooth tarmac of the Velopark. The race finishes with a one or two lap run (depending on your category) on a fast parkland course. The run course exactly 2.5K per lap and the Sprint bike course is 19.K

The Torbay Triathlons are Award Winning events and winner of the National Children’s Event of the Year 2023 & the South West Region Small Event of the Year 2023. Our Spring Triathlons are also qualifying events for the British Triathlon South West Junior Race Series. Children aged 9-16 who want to qualify for the South West Junior Race Series should enter the Tristar 1, 2 or 3 events or for youth competitors, the Supersprint distance.

And on Saturday afternoon we have our Mixed Team Relay in the Olympic format, where each person does a full mini triathlon before handing onto their team mate.

EVENT INFORMATION

Parking

There is plenty of parking in the Leisure Centre car park but you do need to pay for it! Please also ensure that you do not have a bike rack that projects beyond the end of your parking space or you may get a ticket (see conditions next to the parking ticket machine)

We’ve made a special arrangement with Torbay Council so that you will pay a maximum of £5.30 to park for the day. Just pay £5.30 at the machines or app & then collect a voucher from reception in the Leisure Centre which must be displayed on your windscreen.

 

Medals & awards

There is a medal for all finishers.

We will award male & female prizes  in the Sprint for the Top 3 overall, top 3 Vet 40, Top 3 Vet 50, Top 3 Vet 60 & first junior. For the Swim Bike Run & Supersprint we will just award the top 3 male & female.

We do not post out uncollected prizes so make sure you stay for the presentations!

Please note we operate a one prize per person policy. So if a vet is the overall winner they will get that medal & prize & the other Vet 40s will move up one place.

Tristar categories: Top 3 boys & girls in each category. We also award special medals to Top 3 novices in the 8-10 age group & in the 11-14 age group.
