Whether you’re an experienced triathlete or new to the sport and looking for your next challenge, there’s a race for you in Geneva.

On top of the traditional race formats (Discovery, Short, Standard) open to both individuals and relay teams, races are also available for kids aged 6 to 13.

The Short, Standard and Discovery distance races will all take place on a unique course in the heart of downtown Geneva.

The swim leg will take place in Lake Geneva, the bike course extends along the lake road and up the infamous Chemin de l’Impératrice before the run course snakes right along the lakefront to reach the finish line by the Rotonde du Mont Blanc.

You can also try out a unique race format in the form of a Run & Bike; teams of two share one bike and alternate between running and cycling to complete the 13km course together.
