One Athlete, three Sports!

Why just compete in one sport, when you could compete in three all at once! Triathlon is an exciting multi-discipline sport involving a continuous race over various distances in the three disciplines that starts with swimming, transitions over to biking and ends with running across the finish line!

Age-Group triathletes who represent their country in World Triathlon races are called World Triathletes.

Discover your start line

Share the start line with other World Triathletes just like you, who are similar in age, gender and have a passion for competing. Triathlon may be an individual sport, but when it comes to encouragement to cross the finish line, everyone is on the same team, regardless of ability or experience!

But a video race briefing will be available on the facebook page of the event and on the event website from the beginning of the race week. Also, Q&A sessions with Technical Officials will be organized at the venue during certain times for all athletes to ask their questions. We have some cases where an AG Athletes` Briefing is conducted (for example for Long Distance WCH).
