The English Riviera Triathlon, Aquathlon, and Sea Swim is an endurance festival you will not want to miss this summer.
All events will begin with a fantastic sea swim in the warm and sheltered waters of Goodrington Sands. After slicing through the waves, those doing the triathlon will hop on their bikes and complete the challenging loop around the Torbay area.
For those challenging themselves to the triathlon, know that it is not for the faint hearted, as the bike course poses some challenging climbs that are sure to get the legs and lungs burning. The bike course ends in a zooming descent towards the run course, which will take competitors along a stunning but tough off-road coastal journey, fit with steep hills and steps to challenge you all the way through the finish line and that incredible sense of achievement.

Sportiva Events needs marshals. Ask any event organiser and most will say finding enough is an ongoing struggle. So put something back into the sport you love by helping at an event. It’s generally a fun morning (or afternoon) and competitors always appreciate support from the team of marshals. And as an extra incentive they are happy to pay £20 expenses (or give you free entry to a future event) for anyone who helps out for 2-4 hours. Or they’ll pay up to £60 for anyone able to help for the whole day.
And if you’ve already entered but are injured they’ll defer your place for FREE if you volunteer to marshal & pay you £20 expenses.
Just call or text on 07866 567 894 or fill in the form at https://sportivaevents.co.uk/volunteer-help-marshall/. They’ll add you to their Volunteers list and get in touch a couple of weeks before our next event.
