In less than two weeks’ time, upwards of 250 athletes from the region and beyond will gather on the beach in Cap d’Ail for the 22nd edition of the town’s popular triathlon.  

The Cap d’Ail Triathlon, with its Olympic-distance challenges and special event for children, will be returning for its 22nd edition on Sunday 15th September. 

More than 250 athletes are expected at the event, as well as 50 children, who will be competing in a lighter format of the triathlon.  

From La Marquet beach, participants in the main event will be taking on a 1.5km swim, a 40km cycle and a 10km run. The triathlon will begin at 8am, while the children’s event, dubbed the Animathlon, will get going at 10.30am.  

“The Cap d’Ail Triathlon, always very popular with athletes from the region and Italy, has seen the participation of 250 competitors for several years. This event is the sporting showcase of our city, labelled, since 2016, as an Active and Sports City,” says Xavier Beck, Mayor of Cap d’Ail.
