Dawlish Warren is a fantastic location for a triathlon. You start with a sea swim, then it’s onto the bikes for two or three laps of a relatively sheltered and flat bike circuit. The final single lap run takes in the coast path for some stunning views on the last couple of kilometres as you approach the finish line.
The improved run course now uses the footbridge about 300m west of transition which keeps runners well away from cyclists.
Dawlish Warren beach has consistently had excellent water quality ratings for the last four years!

This event is doing its best to minimise the environmental impact of this event. Here are a few of its initiatives:
For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees
New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.
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 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.
Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.
At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £5 discount.
A great day, well organised and marshalled. Thank you to all. Only my second tri and I will defo be back. Shaun Rendle
