Event overview

Sportiva Events will be working closely with Plymouth Tri Club and the team at Mount Edgecumbe to deliver a fantastic event at an amazing venue that’s just a short ferry ride from the centre of Plymouth.

The sea swim, exceptionally sheltered with land on both sides and feels more like a lake swim.

The tough bike is on rolling roads but with some stunning sea views along the way.

The final traffic free runs, based on a 5K lap, are within the grounds of Mount Edgcumbe and include some great coastal paths.

New for 2024 is the Plymouth Swim, in the sheltered waters of Barn Pool Beach.

It’s a stunning location in the heart of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and just a short ferry ride from Plymouth. There will be three distances on offer; 750m (1 lap) 1500m (1 lap) and 3K (2 laps).

This event is part of Plymouth Triathlon & Plymouth Swim.

  • Sustainability policy
  • Trees not tees

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.
