THE RACES

JUNIOR RACES • DISCOVERY • SHORT • STANDARD • HALF

The Geneva Triathlon offers race formats for everyone! Whatever your age or skill level, whether you're looking for victory or a challenge, there's something for everyone!

​

Six race formats are on the program: Half, Standard, Short, Discovery and children's races!

​

The events take place on a unique course in the heart of Geneva harbor, with the swim organized in Lake Geneva, the bike course running along the city center, and a final run on the banks of the lake. The course is marked by professionals and takes place on closed roads (except Half, which is partially closed).

​

Thanks to the relay option, you can also participate in each adult race with your friends, colleagues, family, or even your training partners. Form a team of two or three now and take turns swimming, cycling, and running to share a great time together.

JUNIOR RACES

Awesome day and very carefully organised. Super friendly and No egos. My kids attended junior tri 6-9. It was a top event.

THOMAS, GENÈVE

It was great fun from a sporting point of view, and the people accompanying me said the same thing. There's plenty of shade to avoid overheating in the sun, great for athletes and supporters alike, an interesting bike course and perfect water for swimming.

CHRISTINE, GENÈVE

A big thank you for this brilliant weekend of triathlon. Exemplary organisation, smiling volunteers and very helpful. Our kids loved their races as well, we will be back for sure!
