About the event

The annual triathlon extravaganza returns for its 16th edition, offering both standard and long course enthusiasts an unforgettable experience. Spanning across multiple days, this event showcases the best of endurance sports with pristine ocean swims and challenging cycling and running courses.
Participants will begin their journey in the invigorating waters off the coast, where the clear blue sea provides a breathtaking backdrop for the opening swim leg. Following the exhilarating dip into the ocean, athletes transition seamlessly to the bike course, winding through scenic coastal roads that offer stunning views of the coastline and local wildlife. The cycling route is known for its varied terrain, including gentle hills and stretches of flat, fast road.
The final stretch brings runners back to the shore, where they tackle a challenging yet rewarding run along picturesque trails and sandy paths. The course design ensures a mix of natural beauty and athletic demand, making every step memorable.
What sets this event apart is not just its physical demands but also its vibrant atmosphere. Spectators line the routes, cheering on participants as they push through fatigue to reach their goals. Local vendors offer refreshments and snacks, enhancing the community feel that has made this triathlon a favorite among athletes from around the world.
As the sun sets over the horizon, concluding the long day of competition, the event offers an awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of all competitors. The night then transitions into a celebratory after-party with live music and networking opportunities for participants to share their experiences and plans for future adventures.
This triathlon weekend is more than just a race; it's a celebration of perseverance, camaraderie, and the pursuit of personal bests in one of nature’s most beautiful settings.
