Long-distance and off-road triathlons
Challenges for adventure and endurance enthusiasts
Beyond traditional distances, long-distance and off-road triathlons offer unique experiences for athletes who want to push their limits and explore new terrain.
Long-distance triathlon
Long-distance triathlon is for people who want to take on an exceptional endurance challenge. Whether for the pleasure of surpassing oneself, for personal achievement or for the ambition of crossing the finish line of a mythical event, this discipline demands serious preparation, rigor and determination. Every triathlete finds it a fertile ground for exploring his or her own limits, both physical and mental.
This format offers impressive distances: between 1.9 km and 3.8 km of swimming, followed by 90 km to 180 km of cycling, and finishing with a run of 21.1 km to 42.2 km.
To take part in a long-distance triathlon is to embark on a transforming adventure, where sustained effort becomes synonymous with pride, self-transcendence and unforgettable moments.
Off-road triathlon
Want to get off the beaten track? Off-road triathlons combine swimming, mountain biking and trail running. It’s the perfect format for those who like to combine endurance, technique and direct contact with nature.
Distances may vary, but the experience is always marked by a spirit of camaraderie, a rich natural environment and sometimes unpredictable routes, for a different challenge at each event.
