These challenging events takes place in the beautiful Global GeoPark of Torbay/ English Riviera, the perfect location for an endurance event.

Both swim starts are staged in the sheltered waters off Goodrington Sands, all competitors will experience open water swimming at its very best! What’s so exciting about the 750 & 1500m course is the natural arena that is created by the cliffs at both ends of the beach and the wonderful spectator promenade on North Beach.  Spectators will be able to ‘cheer on’ every stroke as the competitors swim along the sea wall. Both swim distances will start will a mass beach start.  

The Bike sections are staged in some of the most beautiful coast, river and countryside Britain has to offer and is a great opportunity to see South Devon.  Both distances take in a number of classic Devon rolling hills with the 40km course packing a total ascent of almost 800m.  This will challenge first timers and experienced cyclists alike.
