Pretty Zippy city.
This sprint triathlon is no slouch. Think swim in the dock, flat closed road bike and run sections.
Where better to smash a PB or try your first triathlon than the thriving heart of Swansea. Set along the ever-changing waterfront, where you can soak in the atmosphere of the crowds.
- City centre course
- Fast & flat
- First-timer friendly

Sprint
While every possible effort has been made to ensure the course is sterile of vehicles, this cannot be 100% guaranteed so please keep this in mind at all times.
Please ride within your own ability and don’t get caught up in the event. If there is a blue light incident on course (connected or not to the race)that service will receive total priority.
This is a non-drafting event; please take a look at the example in the rules section. To complete the bike leg you are required to complete 3 laps of the course which is comprehensively marshalled and signed with a black arrow and fluorescent background.
PLEASE KEEP TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE AT ALL TIMES UNLESS OVERTAKING. ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR ABIILITY AND WITH CAUTION. PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE ROAD CONDITIONS.
Be aware that there will be members of the general public crossing the road at various points. Please ride with this in mind and be courteous at all times. Any dangerous riding or use of abusive language will result in disqualification from the event without appeal.
Please communicate with other athletes when overtaking, and avoid sudden movements, as there will be a large number of bikes on the course.
Please reduce your speed when approaching the turn points. When approaching the turn point at Morgan's Hotel (WHAT3WORDS: ///traps.stable.trick) you must stay to the right hand side unless you are returning to transition. When you have completed your 3 laps you need to keep left at this point to head back to transition.
