The beautiful seaside town of Eastbourne welcomes athletes back for the Eastbourne Triathlon!
Athletes of all abilities and experience levels from novice to elite can sign up to take on the challenge. Starting from the lifeguard’s beach, triathletes will take on an iconic route, swimming against the backdrop of the historic Eastbourne pier, cycling on closed roads through the South Downs National Park and running on the iconic promenade to Holywell, before finishing on the Western Lawns.
