By ferry

By Ferry, the event is working with the Plymouth Boat Trips company to provide a short ferry ride to the race site from Plymouth. The trip across the water takes just 8 minutes and an early service will be put on for competitors, spectators and marshals to get across.

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.

Beautiful location for the event and perfect weather. It's a hilly course though! The event was really well run, clearly signed and great support before and after the event. Gareth B

Once again a cracking event run by Sportiva events and Plymouth Triathlon Club. Anthony E

Great event with a well-marshalled course. A very hilly course but also one with really good views for a triathlon. Good weather made for a very enjoyable event. Joseph D
