The Croyde Ocean Triathlon, held at the stunning Putsborough Sands in North Devon, England, is celebrated as one of the UK's most scenic and challenging triathlons, frequently selling out. This event offers both the demanding Olympic distance (1.5km ocean swim, 37-38km hilly road bike, 12km off-road trail run) and the "Still Stunning but Less Savage" Sprint distance (750m ocean swim, 18.5km hilly road bike, 5.5-5.6km off-road trail run), with relay options available for both. Participants are treated to breathtaking coastal views, a notoriously tough but rewarding course, and the event's strong commitment to sustainability, including plastic-free initiatives.
