Triton Format 3: The 3-Day Version! 📆

The Triton 3 is a three-day adventure where each discipline has its own dedicated day 👑. Perfect for those who prefer to savor each event, or challenge themselves on longer courses.

  • Day 2: Cycling. Explore unique landscapes with fresh legs from the day before! 🦵
  • Day 3: Running. The final challenge! Run, sweat, and complete these three colorful days! 🌈

Just because the stages are spaced out doesn't mean you should rest on your laurels. Quite the contrary. Between cycling and running, your legs might surprise you in the morning: muscle soreness! 🥴 So, we count on you to not neglect your preparation, so you can give your best in the Triton World Series races! 😌
