The organiser publishes 1.9 km of swimming, 85 km on the bike and 21 km of running.

The water is usually around 15 °C at this time of year.

The bike course is hilly, with about 2,700 m of climbing.

Typical temperatures for the month run from 5 to 16 °C. The race is held at about 1,416 m of altitude. The overall cut-off is 10 hours.

The race was first held in 2022.

This is an extreme triathlon: the course is chosen for its terrain and its climbing, not for speed, and self-sufficiency and a support crew are part of the rules.
