Cross triathlon and Gravel triathlon events
What is cross triathlon?
The cross triathlon is a variant of the traditional triathlon. It combines open-water swimming, mountain biking on technical trails and trail running. The emphasis is on the ability to adapt to rough, sometimes muddy or rocky terrain, with a strong technical aspect.
The gravel cross triathlon is a hybrid form of the cross triathlon, where the cycling portion is done on a gravel bike rather than a mountain bike. Unlike classic cross triathlon, which relies on technical trails, the gravel version uses less technical courses: dirt roads, gravel roads or rolling forest tracks. This approach makes the discipline more accessible, while remaining in the heart of nature.
