Dawlish Triathlon routes

The Dawlish Triathlon takes advantage of Dawlish Warren's beautiful waters and stunning seaside views in this September triathlon.

Triathletes can choose from two events, the Sprint Triathlon or the Supersprint, the second aimed at giving newcomers to the sport a taste of the action and a reason to stick around.

The course will begin with a sea swim, where athletes will cut through the motion of the ocean before hopping on their bike for a sheltered circuit, and ending by running along the coastal path where they will be offered picturesque seaside views as they speed towards the finish line.

After an initial climb, the majority of the bike ride is flat or downhill, providing a fast course for athletes to push themselves to their absolute best. The run will be on good surfaces, so road running shoes will be perfect for this event.

The distances for each event are as follows:

Sprint:

750m sea swim, 24km bike, 5km run.

Supersprint:

300m sea swim, 16km bike, 5km run.

Sprint Triathlon

Start Time: 7:00am

0.75km
