A fast and furious triathlon event set up in a time trial format.
The event is designed to appeal to all types of athlete – ideal to sharpen up your speed for the longer events or if you have never done a triathlon before to practise those transitions and find out how your legs feel trying to run off the bike. Immediately following the adult race, there will be the 2nd race in the TriPurbeck junior triathlon series held entirely within the gounds of the Purbeck Sports Centre.
Supersprint details:
250m pool swim/12km bike/2.5km run
The bike route is mostly on very quiet country lanes and will be well marshalled and signed.
The run takes place in the grounds of the Purbeck Sports Centre and should make for good spectating!

Thanks for a fun morning TriPurbeck!! It was a struggle to get out of bed at first when we saw the weather but we put on our brave faces and came down to the sports centre. You were all so welcoming, friendly and the marshals shouting encouragement were fantastic… We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back again
Thank you so much!
PS. Helen wonders if you publish times as she wanted to see how much faster Liz was on the bike to give her something to aim for…..and probably to admire her swim time a wee bit too….
