The Dorchester Sprint Triathlon
The Dorchester Sprint Triathlon is a sprint-distance event in Dorchester, Dorset, organised by Bustinskin Triathlon Club and based at 1610 Sports Centre Coburg Rd, Dorchester DT1 2HR. The race is described as compact and scenic, designed to run efficiently and suit both experienced athletes and newcomers to triathlon.
Event legs:
- Swim - 300 m pool, 12 lengths, individual time-trial starts
- Bike - 21 km approx, rolling roads with views including the climb to Hardy's Monument
- Run - 5 km approx, two laps around the Great Field at Poundbury
Registration is on the day at the venue and participants receive all required race materials at registration; nothing is sent in advance. When registering, athletes must enter an accurate swim time in HH:MM:SS format to determine start order.
Athletes are asked to review the published bike and run routes before race day; final route details and safety information are included in the official Race Brief, which all athletes must read prior to the event. Entries are limited and may sell out; the stated entry fee is GBP 50. Organisers provide marshals and volunteers along the course and manage logistics for a controlled pool start, marked roads, and multi-lap spectator-friendly running sections.
