This multi-distance triathlon event is aimed at a wide range of abilities, and will be an enjoyable, challenging and friendly event. There is even a novice swim option for the Sprint Triathlon which completes a shorter loop. The event can be completed by individuals or as a relay team where each team member completes a single discipline.

The swim will start in waves from the beautiful sandy beach and takes place in the calm, clear waters over a fully marshalled single lap course.

You will then head out of Exmouth on the bike route, which will be an undulating single lap course. There will be a mixture of closed and open roads as you take in the beautiful surroundings.

The run leg takes place on the sea front promenade over an out and back loop. The flat course is perfect for a fast finish to your race and you can enjoy the stunning sea views throughout.

The organiser cancelled the event last minute due to the weather, which was gutting for everyone and fair enough given the weather. However she refused to give a refund or even a free entry to a future event. Not even a discounted entry to a future event, which I think is thoroughly unacceptable and against consumer rights, what confidence is anyone going to have booking with them again?!? I’m rather put off. Also communication in the run up had been poor, I only found out the day before that the entry fee did not include a mandatory insurance fee that had to be paid on top, why this wasn’t communicated earlier or included in entry fee? Plus the rules were not sent out until the week before, there were so many Triathlon rules including mandatory kit which was also not communicated in enough time to source. So I hope they improve their communication drastically and take some responsibility if they are to run future events.

2nd time doing this event. Really enjoyed it. Preferred having the registration at the car park this year it was way more convenient. The transition zone is tight on space. Took me ages to wrestle my bike back into the tiny slot that I had. Friendly mascots and race organisers! Definitely would do again next year!
