English Riviera Triathlon - July 2nd 2023
About the event
The English Riviera Triathlon starts with a great sea swim in the warm waters of Goodrington Sands. Then it’s onto the bikes for a challenging loop around the Torbay area and finally a stunning out and back off-road coast run over towards Brixham.
Everyone loved our NEW single loop Standard bike course in 2021. Be warned it’s a tough course with plenty of Devon hills. The first sections of the bike courses are rolling but eventually you hit Parliament Hill which averages 11 percent and another climb before the super-fast descent towards the finish. The run course is also challenging with some steep hills & steps to contend with.
Location
Goodrington Beach, Paignton, UK, TQ4
Organiser
Our mission is to deliver excellent endurance sports events to a wide range of ages & abilities. Our events include triathlons & duathlons, open water swimming, gravel and road cycling sportives & road & trail running races.
We work #CENSOR# delivering excellent events. And that is a challenge as no venue is perfect and dealing with landowners, traffic, councils, the general public & other stakeholders can be tough.
In October 2020 we moved some running races, previously co-organised as part of the Wild Night Run Series, under the Sportiva umbrella. And in August 2021 we acquired some cycling sportives, previously run by Just Event. Like all event organisers we’ve had a tough couple of years with the pandemic but are hoping for a return to near-normality in 2022.
We couldn’t deliver these events without a great team of people including Helen Simcoe Walker, Nigel Evans, Dawn Lamerton, Rachel Harvey & Tim Mockford.
