The Osprey Sprint Triathlon
The Osprey Sprint Triathlon is an early season sprint triathlon held at The Osprey Leisure Centre in Portland. The event uses a pool swim start and a looped bike route around Portland Island with an off road run along Hamm Beach.
Distances
- Swim: 300 m pool swim with individual time trial starts.
