Mount Edgcumbe Triathlon – Brought to you by SPORTIVA
Sunday 15th June – From 7am
Sportiva Events is running Plymouth Triathlon, previously known as Mount Edgcumbe Triathlon, in collaboration with Plymouth Tri Club.
We’ll be working closely with Plymouth Tri Club & the team at Mount Edgecumbe to deliver a fantastic event at an amazing venue that’s just a short ferry ride from the centre of Plymouth.
The sea swim is sheltered with land on both sides. The tough bike is on rolling roads but with some stunning sea views along the way. The final traffic free runs, based on a 5K lap, are within the grounds of Mount Edgcumbe & include some great coast path.
As there isn’t a good traffic-free bike course available, we are running the 2025 kids events as aquathlons.
New for 2025 is the Rame Head Race. This is a trail running race taking place the day before the Swims & Triathlons.

In previous years, festival goers have paddle boarded with a pod of dolphins, heard tales of adventure from speakers as iconic as Colonel John Blashford-Snell and danced the night away to fantastic live music from bands including Land of the Giants.
We’re now gearing up for our fifth in-person Armchair Adventure Festival taking place from 24th-27th July 2025 and it’s going to be our biggest and best one yet! We hope you can join us for it!

PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO THE RECENT FIRE AT MOUNT EDGCUMBE, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED FROM 15TH MARCH.
It is April 9th 1912, the night before the Titanic sets sail to America and some of the more affluent guests of the ill fated liner are having dinner before their crossing begins the next day. Maggie Warner has been shopping in London with her fiancé Thomas but is that the only reason she was here or is there a more sordid and shameful reason behind her trip to England? We all know the tragic tale of the ship but did something wicked happen before the ship even set sail? Let’s meet some of the passengers and crew of arguably one of the most famous ships in history and see what unfolds.15th March – 6.30 pm – 3 course dinner – £65pp (booking fees apply)
