Great venue in the heart of Torquay.

The English Riviera Triathlon offers fast exciting spectator-friendly racing in the centre of Torquay. It starts with a sea swim from sheltered Torre Abbey Sands beach. The bike is based on a fast & mostly flat 4K closed road bike circuit. The final single-lap run is mostly flat on tarmac or pavement with great views of the sea.

Torre Abbey meadows provides ample space for a transition area on grass, a long barriered finish line, podium presentations and a small event village.

Sportiva Events is doing its best to minimise the environmental impact of this event. Here are a few of their initiatives:

Sustainability

• Trees not tees

  For all events which include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees

• Avoid single-use plastics

  New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.

• Optional medals

  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 on request

  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.

• Reuseable zip ties and recycling

  Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.

• Reducing car use

  At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £5 discount.

Thank you so much for a fantastic event. It was so well organised and so friendly. Really enjoyed the day. Thank you. Natalie Preston

A fantastic first time doing a sportiva event and my first ever standard distance triathlon. The course was very well organised and a great route. The professional photos were also great which showed that I really did smile through every minute!! Would recommend to anyone wanting to race, especially a first timer and I would do this race again!
