Dartmouth Triathlon
The Dartmouth Triathlon returns for its 12th year at Blackpool Sands Beach on 7 June 2026. The course begins with an open-water swim in the clear waters of Blackpool Sands, continues with an out and back bike route via Slapton that uses one of Devon's flattest roads, and finishes with an out and back run along 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 earlier editions.
Numbers for the triathlon races are strictly limited to 350. Entrants must be aged 15 or over on 31 December 2026. Entry fees for available offers range from £65 to £90.
Race formats and distances include:
- Standard Triathlon: 1500 m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run
- Sprint Triathlon: 750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run
- Standard Aquabike: 1500 m swim, 40 km bike
- Sprint Aquabike: 750 m swim, 20 km bike
- Sprint Relay (teams of 2 or 3): 750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run
