Welcome to the Salcombe Brewery Co Sprint Triathlon…one of the first triathlons to take place in this iconic seaside town.

This epic event in the wonderful town of Salcombe will put your endurance to the test as you swim, cycle and run through the local villages of Salcombe, Hope and Galmpton. Starting from North Sands for a 700m swim in the bay, competitors will then head out on the bike course which has numerous undulations through some stunning South Hams countryside.

Be ready for some of the steep sharp inclines and the rolling down hills towards the sea. Once you're past Inner and Outer Hope there is a steep assault on the hill upto Malborough and a nice finish along the escarpment from Marlborough to North Sands with a few switchbacks to finish.

The run aspect is a trail type route into the valley behind North Sands with a gentle ascent to Lower Collaton, and back down a winding track back to North Sands.

As with all our events our focus is on challenging yourself whilst still having fun in a social and welcoming environment ... and our Triathlon is no different. Whether this is your first try at a TRI, or you are a seasoned professional we welcome all levels, abilities and ages.

IMPORTANT - if the sea conditions on the day of the event are not deemed safe for the swim then the event will revert to a duathlon

IMPORTANT - If you are a Non-British Triathlon Federation Member you will need to purchase a Race Pass during registration

THE CAUSE

The Salcombe Gin Sprint Triathlon will be in support of the RNLI as Letsgovelo has a strong affinity to the South Coast being based in the wonderful town of Salcombe. As such Letsgovelo will donate 5% of the revenue from the event to the Salcombe RNLI charity fund.

Each participant is encouraged to raise £25, which can be easily achieved by creating an RNLI Salcombe JustGiving page or linking their JustGiving account during registration.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered primarily by kind donations, our search and rescue service has been saving lives for nearly 200 years. Here you can find out more about who we are, what we do and how with your support, we can move closer to a world where no one drowns.
