Route information
The Torbay Triathlon, held at the Torbay Velopark, is the perfect event for anyone looking to try our their first triathlon, with races for all ages and all abilities and both adults and juniors alike.
Starting with a pool-based swim in a newly refurbished 25-metre swimming pool, athletes will then jump on their bikes to ride between 1 and 13 laps of the traffic-free, ultra-smooth tarmac of the Velopark. The race finishes with a 1 or 2 lap run of a fast, flat parkland course of 2.5k.
