Swim Bike Run Torbay
Registration is essential. Swim Bike Run Torbay is a monthly event normally held on the first Saturday of each month at Torbay Velopark in Paignton, Devon TQ4 5JR. The event uses a pool swim, a smooth velopark bike circuit on flat tarmac and a grass and gravel parkland run. The bike and run are lapped so participants can choose to complete the minimum distance or add laps up to the maximum distance.
The opportunity is aimed at people new to swim bike run formats and also welcomes more experienced competitors. Families are encouraged. Children as young as six may take part provided they can swim at least 25 m; younger children aged five by the end of the year may enter the Mini Tri with a 25 m swim. The format may be changed to a duathlon or a reverse triathlon in the event of bad weather.
Event features include a traffic free course, marked route, public liability insurance, timing and results, and no upper age limit. The stated entry fee is £5. Participants receive a marshalled and organised environment designed to support building confidence and to allow flexible distances on the day.
