The Donut Duathlon - March 19th 2023
About the event
The Donut Duathlon takes advantage of the Torbay Velopark to offer a fast, flat and completely traffic free duathlon course. Ideal for all ages & for beginners and seasoned athletes alike, the Donut will help kick start your season with a flat parkland run, a fast ride on the smooth tarmac of the Velopark followed by a shorter run to finish.
The Donut Duathlon is very family friendly. We offer shorter distances for children aged 3 and above in the morning & the main Sprint race in the afternoon.
And there’s a Go Tri /Novice event for those new to the sport or who prefer a shorter race.
Medals and donuts for all finishers whichever race they’re doing! For this event any roadworthy bike will do: MTBs, hybrids or road bikes are all fine. All races are now non drafting. See our FAQs below for more information.

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.
