Tavistock Triathlon - The Squirrel
Fall under the spell of ‘The Squirrel’ in the wild and cragged Dartmoor National Park. Take a dip at Mount Kelly’s amazing 50m Olympic Legacy Pool, home to Olympic and Commonwealth Games medalists. Challenge yourself with a ride through the quiet wilderness of Dartmoor’s open moorlands and take in breathtaking views from towering viaducts on a mostly traffic free run route. The finish line in front of Harry Potter style Mount Kelly School is sure to leave you bewitched.
