Tavistock Triathlon

Event details

The Tavistock Triathlon runs on May 3, 2026 at Mount Kelly, Parkwood Road, Tavistock, PL19 0HZ. The event is British Triathlon permitted and uses the Olympic legacy 50 m pool at Mount Kelly with three-metre lanes. A neighbouring 25 m pool is used for Tristar Starts and the mini tri. The bike course uses quiet rolling roads and the final run uses an old railway line. Transition and the Tristar bike and run routes are within the Mount Kelly grounds, with much of the bike and run on grass around the grounds.
