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.

Our 10 1/4” gauge Railway turns 30 this year. Join us in celebrating with a weekend of activities.
In 1995, Lappa Valley opened our 10 1/4” gauge Newlyn Downs Branchline – with the route following the former GWR line up to the former Mitchell and Newlyn Halt.
It took several years to build the railway as the trackbed had gone untouched since 1963. The original track and locomotive Duke of Cornwall actually came from Carlyon Bay on the south coast, where for many years they delighted thousands of beachgoers with rides.
Earlier this year, we opened a new station for the railway – and in 2025, we’ll be celebrating 30 years of the Newlyn Downs Branchline with a special weekend of memories and maybe a few surprises too.
