Event details
The Tavistock Triathlon is held at Mount Kelly, Parkwood Road, Tavistock, PL19 0HZ. Swimming takes place in the Olympic legacy 50m pool at Mount Kelly with three metre lanes; the adjacent 25m pool is used for Tristar Starts and the mini tri (children swim one length). The bike course uses quiet rolling roads and the final run uses the old railway line. The transition area and Tristars bike and run routes are in the grounds of Mount Kelly College, with much of the bike and run on grass.
