Edition history

202528 Sept 2025Held

The date of the next edition has not been announced yet.

How the day is laid out

The swim is held in a river. An average of 20 °C sits in the range where a wetsuit is both allowed and worth wearing for nearly everyone.

The bike leg is labelled hilly.

The run is labelled flat.

A hilly bike ahead of a flat run puts the day's decision early: what you spend on the climbs is what the run will not have.

Expect air between 18 °C and 28 °C on race day. A spread of 10 degrees across the day matters as much as the peak, because what you wear at the swim exit is rarely what you want at the far end of the bike.
