A very well organised and thoroughly enjoyable event. It was disappointing that the pier jump didn't happen this year but once I was swimming it was clear it was the correct decision. The sea was pretty lumpy so it was challenging but manageable. The supervision was first class. Even in the rain the event was a huge success.

The atmosphere and support from the crowd was outstanding and was definitely needed in the conditions! Overall it was a really well run event!

Great event. My first full distance triathlon and what a great choice. So glad I went local instead of a more ‘household’ brand. Easy to register and rack the day before which sped up things on event day. Jumping off the pier was fun and well managed, and the swim was easy to navigate (some current but mostly with you). Bike course was interesting enough given it was 3 laps - enough elevation changes to not be a constant slog but no real big climbs until the end. Maybe a bit lonely on laps 2 and 3 when everyone doing the half disappeared but one of the moto riders pulled up alongside to check on me which was good. The aid stations are very sensibly spaced and well stocked. Run course is flat and fast and ideal for all abilities - as with the bike course there were well spaced aid stations that were well stocked and plenty of enthusiastic marshals which really helped get me through. (Not to mention plenty of visitors wandering around as well) Great finish line experience and generous food / recovery provisions too. Can’t recommend this one enough, especially at the price. (I could say loads more, but I did a much more detailed write up on my blog if anyone is really interested https://www.trirunfun.uk/post/end-of-the-long-game)

I thoroughly enjoyed this 70.3, particularly the pier jump start..... a very good and well sighted swim, a nice bike (no laps which is always welcome) and a well-supported, without being overwhelming, run. Excellent race that I will put into my regular calendar.

I love Tribourne events. Very easy to register. Everything's in one place. No faffing. Staff are great and courses are ace! The only problem is open roads. But if you're fast enough, it's early enough to miss traffic.

Really friendly event, excellent organisation, volunteers with straightforward logistics. Also good value for money. Occasionally traffic held us up on the route, which can be a little frustrating at the front end of the race. A couple of sections on narrower roads without road closures were also not ideal.

Brilliant event, excellent organisation, support from both organisers and volunteers. Jumping off pier was great fun although nervous about it beforehand! Good swim instructions and supoort in and as coming out of water. Volunteers and crowd supporting really added to the experience. Well laid out course and instructions to go with it. Highly recommend this event for organisation, location amazing, great support and camaraderie among athletes.

My first ever tri so went big with Ironbourne but the organisation; Marshall’s, course, pre day guidance and even an answer to my phone call put me at ease. It was an amazing day which started and ended with great camaraderie both on the pier and along the seafront. Would definitely recommend Ironbourne - go for the large adult portion !😁 Perhaps hydration drinks without sugar could be an improvement but otherwise 10/10! Thanks guys ! Well chuffed to get it done.

My first half IM, brilliant organisation. Safety was amazing, struggled in the sea and without the encouragement of Jo on the safety board I would have given up with out a doubt! Amazing day.
