On the eve of its 10th anniversary, the Festival of Triathlon breaks all records on both long and short distance triathlons. The Organization Team is proud to welcome the worldwide elite of triathlon and all the participants in this event. Thanks to our title sponsors, EDF and Alpe d’Huez, this event offers amazing routes in an outstanding environment, especially with the swim race which is exceptionally set up in the Verney Lake.
An entire week of races full of surprises and various activities organized at the Exhibition Village are on the agenda of this 10th Anniversary: such a special and memorable 2015 edition to come!
The long distance triathlon will see its athletes start off in the clear waters of the lac du Verney, at an altitude of 700 m, the access to which was exceptionally granted by our title sponsor, EDF. Fresh out of the water, the participants will grab their bikes to begin the second part of the race, leading to the Ornon col and Grand Serre peaks, through the legendary 21 turns. The ultimate effort will be running the 22 km in the Alpe d’Huez resort, to reach the official finish line.
