XS Triathlons

The XS Triathlon (Extra Small) offers you an accessible experience! Where you can swim, bike, and run over suitable distances: about 400 meters of swimming 🏊, 10 kilometers of cycling 🚲, and 2.5 kilometers of running 🏃. These races test your agility, endurance, and sportsmanship, offering a rewarding experience for triathlon beginners!🌟 The term “XS” highlights that even the youngest (from age 12) can take part and have fun.

Ready to take on the adventure? The XS format takes center stage in several events, whether in the mountains with the Triathlon des Pyrénées ⛰️ or the Triathlon de la Côte de Granit Rose 🐚, with idyllic coastal scenery wrapped in the charm of Brittany. Not to mention the Triathlon des Hautes-Vosges, an event to add to your Grand Est triathlons calendar.

The good news is that you can also find the Extra Small distance abroad!

In Spain 🇪🇦, don’t miss the Mediterranea Tri Alicante. Meanwhile in Italy 🇮🇹, the Triathlon MTB Di Predazzo has wonderful scenery in store for you 🏃‍♀️ 🌿.

That’s not all—more events can be found on Finishers. If you’re new to the world of triathlon, we’re sure the XS format is perfect for you. It offers an introduction without throwing you into a superhuman challenge. For the record, it’s also the distance used for relays in international competitions, which you may have discovered at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 as well as at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Who knows—maybe one day you’ll be an Olympian too!
