Torbay Triathlon Relay

On April 3, 2027, our race calendar welcomes back two thrilling relay events that cater to both traditional and modern triathlon enthusiasts. The day kicks off at 1:30 PM with the Standard Team Relay Triathlon, where teams of three (or optionally two) tackle a challenging course together. Each participant takes on either one or two elements of this event—swim, bike, and run—depending on their strengths. Teams will face a 400m swim (16 lengths), followed by a grueling 19.5K bike ride around the track (13 laps) before concluding with a 5K run (2 laps).
An hour later, at 2:30 PM, the Mixed Relay Triathlon takes center stage. This fast-paced event features mixed teams of four—two female and two open participants—who each complete a super sprint triathlon segment in rapid succession. Distances for this relay include a 300m swim (12 lengths), a 7.5K bike ride (5 laps), and an invigorating 1.8K run (1 lap). Both events start with waves of up to twelve swimmers, ensuring smooth transitions as athletes move from one discipline to the next.
Participants in both relays will experience competitive camaraderie and adrenaline-fueled excitement on a well-managed course designed for seamless transition zones and clear lane markings. The Mixed Relay Triathlon is particularly notable for its inclusion in major international competitions like the Olympics, making it an exhilarating challenge for all involved.
For those interested in these events, remember that Standard Team Relays require teams of two or three members with any gender mix, while Mixed Teams must consist of four participants including at least two females. The day promises to be a celebration of teamwork and endurance as athletes push their limits on the track and beyond.
