Event details
The Dartmouth Triathlon takes place at Blackpool Sands Beach on 7 June 2026. The course begins with a swim in the clear waters of Blackpool Sands, continues with an out and back bike route via Slapton that uses a very flat section of road, and finishes with an out and back run up Blackpool Valley Road following a stream to the turn. A second bike-drop transition on the other side of the A379 removes a road crossing used in past years. Numbers for the triathlons are limited to 350. Entrants must be aged 15 or over on 31/12/2026.
