Triathlons in Isère

A monumental playground in Isère

From mountain to plate

Running a race in Isère is like diving into a vast movie set 🎬. Besides, the famous film Les Rivières Pourpres was filmed in our icy valleys, enough to give you some chills before the start 🥶. Between Grenoble the dynamic prefecture, Vienne the Roman city and Bourgoin-Jallieu, you will cross incredible historical landscapes 🏰. Here, the harsh mountain climate shapes the character, just like our old Franco-Provençal dialect that still proudly resonates in certain remote villages 🗣️. After a big effort, you can always comfort yourself with our rich local specialties such as the famous Grenoble walnuts or a traditional gratin dauphinois 🥔. The majestic emblem of the department, the lion, will accompany you spiritually on every tough incline you will have to face 🦁.

Following in the footsteps of Isérois champions

The entire region truly breathes the triple effort 🏊‍♂️. Did you know that the incredible world champion Dorian Coninx is from Échirolles? 🥇 He surely wore out his first competition shoes on a beautiful local nature run before shining internationally 👟. The formidable Belledonne ranges, the Vercors, and the wonderful Chartreuse offer perfect training grounds to forge steel-hard thighs 🦾. Get ready to climb the mountain with courage and absolute determination ⛰️. Even though you won't find any event by the sea here, our vast high-altitude lakes are well worth the ocean's immensity 🌊.

Your next challenge is already here

Isérois races for all levels

It's high time to reserve a bib to write your own sports legend 🎟️. Each triathlon in Isère has its own identity and a truly unique convivial atmosphere 🎉. From mid-April, you can comfortably kick off your season with the Triathlon du Pays de Saint-Marcellin in the charming town of Chatte 🧀. It's a short and perfect event in XS format or S format to gently awaken your body that has been dormant through the long winter 🐻. Early June, the demanding Triathlon du Lac de Laffrey awaits you with its fresh waters and its heavy historical past linked to Napoleon's passage 🦅. If you prefer running in the forest in the shade of tall trees, the Green Triathlon Balcons du Dauphiné in Montalieu mid-June is for you with its beautiful ecological commitment 🌱.

From mythical lakes to summits!

The end of the summer period also holds enormous sporting surprises 🎁. The stunning Triathlon du Lac de Paladru organized in Montferrat in September offers you a magical dive into turquoise waters where mysterious archaeological remains rest silently at the bottom 🏺. Of course, it is strictly impossible not to mention the absolute legend that gathers thousands of crazy people each summer under a blazing sun 🤪. The mythical Triathlon de l'Alpe d'Huez and its twenty-one legendary turns will literally make you cry with joy once the summit is reached 🚴‍♂️. Whether you prefer a peaceful lake or a dizzying summit, you will surely find the grand adventure of your dreams right here 🤩.
