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!
