The Original Swanage Triathlon Festival

The Original Swanage Triathlon Festival takes place in Sandpit Field, Shore Road, Swanage, Dorset on the Isle of Purbeck. It offers multiple formats: a Standard triathlon (1,500m swim, 38km bike, 10km run), a Sprint (750m swim, 23km bike, 6.5km run), and an Aquathlon (750m swim, 6.5km run). The open-water swim is in Swanage Bay, with a challenging bike section featuring hill climbs and a thrilling Kingston Hill descent, and a run that climbs onto Ballard Down Ridge for expansive Purbeck views.

Marketed as a weekend away for clubs and families alike, the event highlights flexible routes, a welcoming marshal program, and a strong, supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
