To best meet the characteristics of the triathlon, the race has set up shop in Split, Croatia ๐ญ๐ท. This means the swimming event ๐โโ๏ธ will have you diving into the stunning Adriatic Sea! ๐ Located on a charming peninsula, the city offers beautiful views of the Croatian islands! ๐๏ธ Here's the breakdown: three formats are available for participating in the Split Triathlon: the first one is the biggest, the most "Olympic", and lives up to its name! ๐ It consists of 1,500 meters of swimming, followed by 40 km of cycling, and 10 km of running! ๐ดโโ๏ธ If you're more of a sprinter, the "Sprint" option is perfect for you, with 750 meters of swimming, 20 km of cycling, and 5 km of running! ๐โโ๏ธ Lastly, for those who prefer even shorter formats, you can opt for the "Super Sprint", starting with 375 meters of swimming, then 10 km of cycling, finishing with 2.5 km of running! ๐โโ๏ธ Ambitious as you may be, remember that while the events might seem doable, the time limits can be challenging โณ. For details on how to qualify, check out the FAQ for race specifics ๐.
One unique feature of the Split Triathlon is that it's not just the winners who receive prizes! ๐ฅ Indeed, the last finishers in each format (as long as they respect the time limits) also receive their own medal and reward! ๐ While this shouldn't encourage you to finish last, it does mean that everyone leaves a winner! ๐ค To ensure even more inclusivity, children can join in on the fun too! ๐ง The Kids Mile lets them compete just like mom and dad! ๐ And here's a bonus: Split in May ๐ฟ offers the perfect balance between spring sunshine and sea breeze ๐ฌ๏ธ, providing ideal conditions for training without the scorching summer heat ๐.
After your efforts, relax in the historic center of Split ๐, between the Palace of Diocletian and the lively seaside cafรฉs! โ Savor the Mediterranean cuisine ๐ and fresh local produce for a tasty and balanced recovery ๐ฅ. Why not extend your stay and explore the nearby islands, such as Hvar or Braฤ, for a perfect blend of sport and discovery? ๐
